At this time, we have limited psychiatric services and a wait time to schedule an appointment. If you require or would like more immediate psychiatric services, the following is a community resource:
Alliance Behavioral Psychiatry 801-224-3014 361 East 1200 South, Orem https://www.alliancebehavioralpsychiatry.com/
In addition to the above community resource, we also have a listing of various health care resources in the community.
Our psychiatric nurse practitioners work with students with mental health concerns to determine what medication(s) might be most helpful to them. If you are interested in learning more about how prescription medications or supplements might be helpful for mental health issues (such as depression or bipolar disorder), meeting with one of our psychiatric nurse practitioners could be helpful.
In contrast to psychiatric services, psychological services provides therapy services (including individual, couples, and group therapy) to students with mental health concerns. More information on psychological services can be found on our Mental Health Services page.
