Personal Counseling Services
You Matter.
Personal Counseling Services (PCS) is part of Edgewood University’s Wellness Center and provides free, confidential mental health support. Short-term individual counseling is available to help students with a wide range of issues, such as life transitions, relationship difficulties, depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, discrimination, academic issues, substance abuse, trauma, self-esteem, body image, stress management, self-injury, and/or suicidal thoughts. While individual counseling is PCS’s most frequently used service, a number of other supports are offered to promote student mental health and wellbeing, from group counseling to a relaxation room.
To be eligible for services, students must currently reside in the state of Wisconsin. Counseling services are available for out-of-state students through our virtual platform, Uwill. Students can create an account using their Edgewood University email address.
Additional supports are available beyond Personal Counseling Services. Learn more about on-campus, local, and national mental health supports here.
