Marquette University is committed to supporting the health and wellbeing of our graduate students. We offer a variety of resources to support your everyday needs. Expand the selection below to learn how Marquette University is here to support you.
COUNSELING CENTER
Counseling Center
Holthusen Hall, Room 204
(414) 288-7172
The Counseling Center is the mental health clinic on campus staffed by licensed mental health professionals. This group of professionals are experts on college student mental health and provide a variety of support resources to both graduate, professional and undergraduate students on campus. These supports include: individual and group therapy, limited psychiatric services, and training on mental health topics. Students access our services to address a variety of mental health and emotional issues including anxiety, depression, substance use, eating concerns and trauma. The professional staff help address a variety of non-clinical and developmental issues such as adjustment, academic stress, relationship and identify concerns. In order to remain accessible to all students at Marquette, there are some limits on the amount of services we are able to provide to any one student. If you have a therapist and/or prescriber, we encourage you stay connected to them as much as that is possible. We can provide referrals to community providers if students needs exceed our availability or scope or students prefer that option. We run two specific groups tailored to graduate students each semester: The Gatherings (a support/discussion group for graduate students of color) and Survive & Thrive in Graduate School (for any graduate or professional student).
Services are free, confidential and easy to access to enrolled students. We are delivering both in person and telehealth visits at this time. Simply call or walk in during the office hours of M-F, 8-430PM to schedule a first appointment called an “initial consultation”. During that appointment, we will assess current concerns and collaboratively determine the next best steps for treatment. If there are critical or urgent concerns, we have walk in hours available when the Center is open; after hours and weekend concerns that are critical can be directed to the on call counselor and reached by way of contacting MUPD at 414-288-6800. We are located in Holthusen Hall, Room 204. You can reach us at 414-288-7172.
