Eligibility for Clinical Services
Please note that we are currently offering individual therapy for adults aged 18 and older.
We do not offer assessment services for adults or children.
Potential clients who may receive services through the UCMHC include University of
Utah students and adult community members living within the State of Utah. With the
flexibility offered through telehealth services, clients are not required to reside
within Salt Lake County but must be within the State of Utah at the time of their
therapy session.
The UCMHC supports clients with a full range of concerns, including relationship or
family concerns, depressed mood, anxiety, stress, coping with physical/developmental
disabilities or medical illnesses, academic difficulties, adjustment issues, life
transitions, interpersonal conflict/social concerns, grief, sexual orientation/identity
issues, career development, homelessness, under/unemployment, and poverty.
Because clinician training is the primary focus of the UCMHC, the type of services
we can provide is limited based on available competencies, resources, and other professional
and ethical considerations. The UCMHC reserves the right to determine the appropriateness and availability of
services for any and all clients.
Clients requiring specialized treatment, long term care, or deemed to be more likely
to have their needs best addressed elsewhere will be referred to community resources.
Examples of primary presenting concerns that may be referred out to community providers
include: severe eating disorders, high suicidal risk, psychosis, homicidal ideation,
and substance abuse.
