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 will need their Edgewood University username and password to sign up.
Additional supports are available beyond Personal Counseling Services. Learn more about on-campus, local, and national mental health supports here.
