Important Notice for Counseling Appointments
In line with steps the University has taken to reduce the transmission of COVID - 19, the full spectrum of services UMD Health Services can deliver will look different at this time.
We are now offering Telehealth Counseling Sessions
Effective October 4th we will start offering a hybrid model that includes a mix of telehealth and in-person sessions.
To Schedule an appointment:
Virtual and in person sessions will now be offered. All initial or first sessions will be offered remotely using Zoom. At the end of that session, you and your provider can discuss options for follow up appointments Your preferences and needs will be taken into consideration as you develop a plan with your counselor. Please be aware that all in person requests may not be able to be accommodated due to COVID procedures. If you wish to schedule a session, please call 218-726-7913. You will receive information on scheduling and a direct link to access our telehealth consent forms online. You will have the opportunity to discuss this information with your care provider in your first session.
