Counseling Services
Short-term counseling services for current Washington State University Vancouver students are available for free on campus. Our office hours are Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and we are located in the Student Services Center, rooms 111 & 113. To schedule a counseling appointment, please call 360-546-9238, leave a message with your name, phone number, and preferred dates and times to meet if possible, and someone will return your call promptly.
About Our Staff
At the present time our staff is composed of two people. Dr. Will Meek is a Licensed Psychologist and has a Doctorate in Counseling Psychology. Jamie Young is our doctoral counseling intern from Pacific University, and she holds a Masters degree in Clinical Psychology. Both have experience working with diverse people on a wide range of concerns, from relationship and academic issues to major mental disorders (e.g. depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, ADHD, OCD) and other significant life problems and situations. Your counselor will work with you individually to determine the goals, duration, and best methods of counseling.
First Session Forms
Please fill out these forms and bring them to your first visit (initial assessment), which usually lasts about 25 minutes and is an overview about your concerns and goals for counseling. A full session is typically scheduled after your initial assessment session.
