Located in 053 Student Union, in the lower level just below the main entrance, Counseling and Wellness Services (CWS) offers a variety of services and resources to currently enrolled Wright State students including individual and group therapy, psychiatric services, and health promotion programming. Our staff, interns, and residents are here to support Wright State students in a safe, confidential, and inclusive space.

This is an optional $20 fee, which covers all mental health services at CWS for no additional cost for the semester. If you choose to waive the fee, CWS services are still available to you at the cost of $20 per session.
