Counseling & Therapy Services (CATS)

Purpose and Services

The purpose of CATS is to provide UNM students with psychological and psychiatric support services to help them function successfully in their academic lives. When students are faced with excessive stress or difficult personal problems, professional support may be helpful, or necessary.

The most important services are emergency care for life-threatening situations, and same-day interventions for significant life crises. These services are provided on a walk-in basis and do not require prescheduled appointments. Services requiring scheduled appointments include: assessment; time-limited individual and group therapy; medication evaluation and monitoring; psychoeducational groups; consultations and referral.
