Walk-In Urgent Consultation
If you are a UofL student in crisis or need to speak with someone urgently please call us at 1-502-852-6585 M-F or walk-in between 9am and 4:30pm for an urgent consultation, and we will assign a clinician to speak with you as soon as possible. We do not schedule appointments for UCs, so please call or walk in when you are ready to speak with a clinician.
Please note that urgent consultation (UC) services are provided to UofL students on a first come, first served basis. Our busiest time is 2-4pm. You will need time to complete paperwork and see or receive a callback from a clinician. We may have to call you back/see you on the following day if there are several students ahead of you.

If you are a UofL student and a crisis occurs when the Counseling Center is closed, you can use our after-hours crisis line by calling 1-502-852-6585, and select option 2 to speak to a crisis counselor right away.
