We also have Rapid Access Services Monday through Friday, 2 pm – 4 pm, and on-call services available 24/7 (336-334-5874).  Due to demand and staffing, students are not typically seen weekly for individual therapy (usually on a biweekly or triweekly basis); however, our groups, workshops and support spaces offer options to receive support and treatment weekly and sometimes even more often! For students needing specialized or more frequent services than those offered at UNCG, we help connect them to off-campus providers.  

Sometimes, a student will find that they don’t connect with their counselor.  To request to transfer to a new counselor, go to titaniumcaps.uncg.edu/TitaniumWeb/ and complete the “Request to Change Provider” form.  One of our staff members will reach out to you. 

We are open and offer services all summer for enrolled students or grad students engaged in research activities. For students who were enrolled in spring semester and enrolled in fall semester, but not taking classes in the summer and therefore not paying tuition and fees, there is a small fee for each session during the summer.  

Yes!  Grad students are eligible for all counseling and psychiatry services.  There are also groups and workshops geared towards graduate students.
