Counseling Services-COVID 19 Updates

Ohio Wesleyan University's Counseling Services (CS) is here to support the OWU community while the world continues to manage COVID-19. Counseling Services actively uses technology (phone or computer) to facilitate person-to-person interactions which allows us to remain connected with students. Students are encouraged to continue reaching out to Counseling Services.

CS acknowledges the impact of the global pandemic on Ohio Wesleyan students and recognizes that it is typical to experience powerlessness, grief, anxiety, or fear. Please continue to utilize our resources for support.

Services Off-Campus

If you are looking to establish services off-campus we encourage you to ask these types of questions, and any other questions regarding issues that are important to you.

When contacting a provider, there are several questions you should consider asking:

• What days and times are you currently available?
• Where is your office located? Are you on a bus-line (which bus)?
• Could you describe your helping approach?
• What are your fees? (Some providers do not accept insurance and are all self-pay.)
  • Do you have any student discount fees?
  • Do you have a sliding fee scale?
• Do I have to pay "up front" for services?
  • Will you accept my insurance coverage?
  • Will you directly bill my insurance company?
  • Do you have a payment plan?
• What are your limitations on length of treatment?
• Do you have a waitlist at this time?
• Do you provide Teletherapy?

To find a clinician in the community please utilize this therapist search engine.
