Mission
Counseling Services promotes the mental health and well-being of students. We are committed to addressing students' mental health concerns through direct service to individuals and groups, program planning, and policy development.
We provide short-term individual counseling for students. Students who need long-range treatment and/or more intensive services, including after-hours crisis intervention, are referred to community providers. We also provide referrals to community resources and access to a free self-help resource cabinet featuring pamphlets, articles, and other resource materials.

How To Make an Appointment
Appointments are recommended. Call or email Meg Pledl directly at meg.pledl@flcoastline.com or 414-382-6119 to request an appointment. Students experiencing a crisis can usually be seen the same day that they request an appointment, and most students are usually seen within 48 hours of their initial request for services.
What To Do When the Counselor is Not Available
If you come to the office and there is not a counselor available, complete an appointment request slip, and a counselor will contact you as soon as possible to schedule an appointment.
You can also visit CAREline@澳门水利博彩官方网站 for 24/7 support and additional telehealth or face-to-face counseling options.
Routine? Urgent? Emergency?
If it's important to you, it's important to us. We try to accommodate students in crisis; however, scheduled appointments do take precedence over walk-in appointments. If you are experiencing a mental health emergency and can't wait to be seen, your options are:
- Call 911 for immediate assistance
- Go to the nearest hospital Emergency Room
- Call Milwaukee County Mental Health Psychiatric Crisis Line at 414-257-7222
- Call Campus Safety (if you need immediate assistance while on campus) at 414-382-6911
