Making an Appointment

To schedule an appointment at the MUW Counseling Center, you may visit the MUW Counseling Center (corner of 11th st S and 4th Ave) or call 329-7748.  Appointments are available between the hours of 8:00am and 5:00pm. The administrative assistant will arrange for you to meet with a counselor as soon as possible.  Because many students use our services, there may be a waiting period before the first appointment can be scheduled. 

In urgent or crisis situation,  an immediate or same-day appointment may be necessary. If you are experiencing an emergency, be sure to alert the administrative assistant know the nature of your situation. If it is an emergency, we ask that you call 9-911 or MUW Police Department at 662.241.7777.

THE FIRST APPOINTMENT

For the initial “intake” session, you should plan to arrive 10 minutes early to complete paperwork.  You and your counselor will then begin an assessment of you concerns and decide how the MUW Counseling Center may be of assistance to you.  By the end of the first appointment, the counselor will help you summarize your concerns and explore treatment options for resolving them.  If the MUW Counseling Center does not provide the level or type of services that you need, we will refer you to another community resource which may better serve your needs.  Some students find that the initial interview itself is all they need to explore and clarify their feelings and options, while others may decide to return for additional services.

ADDITIONAL APPOINTMENTS

We recognize that coming to counseling takes courage and resolve, and waiting can be frustrating when you are doing something important.  Please know that MUW Counseling Center is doing its best to accommodate as many students as possible with a minimal wait while maintaining the highest quality of care.

CANCELLATION AND NO-SHOWS

MUW Counseling Center offers on an appointment basis. Time is reserved in our schedules whenever a student requests services. Canceling or missing appointments leads to an ineffective us of valuable time which could have been afforded to other students in need.  If you must miss a session due to illness or emergency, please contact us to cancel the appointment as far in advance as possible.
