Consultation

At times an individual or group experiences acute distress or has an important issue that requires prompt attention. Staff from the Counseling Center are available to consult with faculty, staff, or students about the mental health needs of students or employees. In addition, senior staff from the Center serve as resources for organizations or units within UIC who wish to improve organizational communication or seek assistance in administrative problem-solving.

To request a consultation, call the Counseling Center at (312) 996-3490 and ask to speak to either the Clinical Director, Dr. Karen Maddi, or any staff counselor who is available.

Programs and Workshops

If you are interested in a having the Counseling Center provide a workshop or program please direct your request to Nic McCarley, Psy.D., Assistant Director of Outreach, by completing the Outreach/Presentation Request form and submit it via email (nicmcc@uic.edu) or fax (312) 996-7645. After making your request, our Outreach coordinator will review it and be in contact with the requestor, typically within 3-5 days of your initial request.

While we will make every effort to meet requests, certain peak times of the year do not allow us the time or resources to do outreach programs. Ultimately, it is best if you give us at least two weeks notice for a presentation and that you can assure that at least 10 participants will attend. If we are unable to meet your need, we will suggest other resources to you or discuss another time of the year when we might be more available to meet your needs.

Liaisons

We have designated specific UIC Counseling Center staff members to be liaisons to many colleges, units and support services offices across campus. The liaison is a valuable resource for that particular area and you can direct your questions to that individual. The liaison can offer consultation to your specific unit and/or provide you with specific workshops or programs for your particular unit. If you have more questions or concerns about our liaison relationship program, please contact the Assistant Director of Outreach - Nic McCarley, Psy.D.
