Scheduling an Initial Consultation Online
Initial Consultations at WMCC
An initial consultation (IC) appointment is a chance to talk with a counselor about your concerns and explore what services might be the best fit for you. This is often the first step in establishing mental health care at the W&M Counseling Center (WMCC).
With the exception of VIMS students, all IC appointments are in person and require you to come to the Counseling Center. If you prefer a virtual option, telehealth services are available to W&M students at no additional cost through TimelyCare.
When you arrive for your IC, you’ll be asked to complete paperwork in the waiting area. This helps your counselor better understand your needs and goals. If you give permission to be contacted by text, you’ll receive a text reminder prior to your IC.
If you’ve already met with a therapist through an IC at WMCC, please contact them by email or call (757) 221-3620 for next steps.
