Counseling Services welcomes all students and aspires to respect cultural, individual, and role differences. Our goal is to create a safe, supportive, and affirming environment for individuals of all races, ethnicities, national origins, genders, gender identities, sexual orientations, religions and belief systems, ages, abilities, sizes, socioeconomic statuses, languages, and cultures.
Hours of operation
Monday - Friday from 8:00 am - 4:30 pm
Counseling Services will be closed from Monday, December 23, 2024, to Thursday, January 2, 2025.
The goal of Counseling Services is to assist students in addressing mental health concerns in a professional, unbiased, objective way. To that end, Counseling Services offers problem assessment, short-term individual and group counseling, career testing and counseling, and, when warranted and/or desired by the student, referrals for ongoing, longer-term or specialized treatment for currently-enrolled UNO students.
In addition to personal counseling and career testing and counseling for UNO students, Counseling Services also provides consultation for UNO faculty and staff with concerns about students, psychoeducational outreach for the UNO community, and specialized professional training for graduate students in counseling and other behavioral health professions.
Mental Health Emergency
If you or someone you know is having a mental health emergency, meaning that you are in need of immediate care, please call 911, the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (1-800-273-8255), or text HOME to the crisis text line at 741741.
Mental Health Crisis
Counseling Services utilizes a crisis intervention model, which means that a staff member is available during office hours specifically to respond to students who are actively having a mental health crisis. Mental health crisis includes, but is not limited to:
an individual who is suicidal and has a specific plan and the intent to kill themself.
an individual who has recently taken steps to end their life.
