Counseling and Testing Services offers a range of psychological services-- including counseling and psychotherapy, groups, workshops and outreach programs, consultation, crisis service, and psychological testing--to WSU students, faculty, and staff. Services are available at no additional cost to WSU-Pullman students who have paid the health fee and, through the Employee Assistance Program, to WSU-Pullman employees.  

A professional staff of counselors provides individual, couple, and group counseling, consultation, and psychological assessment. Information shared with a counselor remains confidential according to Washington law and the ethical code of the American Psychological Association.

If you are considering counseling, or want to consult with a counselor for any reason, stop by the Counseling Center, located in Lighty, Room 280 during our walk-in hours (see side-bar for times). The walk-in system is on a "first-come, first-served" basis, depending on need. You will be asked to fill out our standard forms (it is recommended that you arrive 15-20 minutes early to allow time to complete our forms), then you will consult a counselor to determine how best we can help meet your needs.

After this initial session, you may be assigned to a counselor for individual services, referred to a group or workshop, referred to another service, or, under rare circumstances, placed on a waiting list for Center services.

If you are in crisis and need to see someone immediately, please come in at any time Monday through Friday from 8am to 5pm. For emergency consultations in the evenings or on weekends, please call 509-335-2159. For information, or to change or cancel an appointment, please call 509-335-4511.

Although direct counseling for Distance Degree Program students cannot be provided, including by email or telephone, assistance in finding local resources may be facilitated. Students with special referral questions or needs may consult by telephone with professional staff at Counseling Services, (509) 335-4511, Monday - Friday, 8 A.M. - 5 P.M.
