Notification of Change in Counseling Services

The CU Denver Student and Community Counseling Center will temporarily close its physical location, but will be providing remote, online counseling services, effective Monday, March 16th, due to the developments related to the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19).  This is following the protocol of the University of Colorado system as well as the Centers for Disease Control’s (CDC’s) recommendations for exposure.  The health and safety of our students, faculty and staff is our highest priority as we coordinate our planning and response. 

We will be offering the following services via telehealth/online video calls:

• Intake appointments

• Regular individual therapy sessions with your ongoing counselor
  

In order to access these telehealth services, you will need to do the following:

              encrypted Zoom invitation to meet with a counselor
