The center offers a comprehensive set of services to students, faculty, and staff.  These services range from individual counseling for personal concerns to standardized educational testing (e.g., ACT, GRE, MCAT).

Psychological counseling services are available to students, faculty, and staff, while testing services are targeted mostly to the community. Community members are referred to the UMKC Community Counseling and Assessment Services for individual counseling.

The staff consists of eight licensed psychologists, one licensed social worker, two consulting psychiatrists, three doctoral-level interns, and five masters-level or advanced practicum interns. In the spirit of training future psychologists, the center maintains a Predoctoral Internship program which is accredited by the American Psychological Association.

We offer psychological counseling services to students without charge for the first eight sessions. There are minimal fees for additional sessions. Staff and faculty are charged a nominal fee for all sessions. Visits to our Center and the contents of counseling sessions are always strictly confidential.
