Free mental health counseling at Westminster's new Community Clinic
Westminster University is offering free mental health counseling and treatment at a new Community Clinic and Training Center.
Located on-campus in Salt Lake City, the clinic aims to address a shortage of mental health providers in Utah, which makes it difficult for especially underserved and marginalized populations to get treatment, according to Clinical Director Anna Lieber.
Clinic counselors will be graduate students in the university’s Master of Science in Clinic Mental Health Counseling Program, working under the supervision of licensed mental health providers.
Currently, the clinic will be able to accept up to 70 clients. To learn more or inquire about mental health services, visit their website, call 801-832-2910 or email cctc@westminsteru.edu.
