Meet Our College Liaisons

CU Boulder colleges and schools have access to dedicated teams of liaisons from Counseling and Psychiatric Services, the Office of Victim Assistance and Health Promotion.

Liaisons are integrated into academic settings in order to support student success and increase education, access, awareness and support within colleges and schools. College liaisons also help provide consistent and shared health and wellness messaging and programs.

Informal Consultation

Let's Talk

Get Started with Let's Talk

Let’s Talk is a free service where CU Boulder students can check in for an informal and confidential consultation with a counselor. No appointment is necessary, and it is offered both in-person and virtually. Students are seen on a first-come, first-served basis.

Let’s Talk counselors can help provide insight, solutions and information about additional resources. Students commonly visit with concerns about stress, sadness, worry, relationships, academic performance, family problems and financial struggles.

Please note: This service is not a substitute for formal counseling and does not constitute mental health treatment.

Let’s Talk is especially helpful for students who ...

Aren’t sure about counseling or wonder what it’s like to talk with a counselor
Aren’t interested in ongoing counseling but would like the perspective of a counselor
Have a specific problem and would like someone with whom to talk it through
Have a concern about a friend or family member and would like ideas about what to do
