Welcome to the Web site of the Carruth Center for Psychological and Psychiatric Services at West Virginia University.

All of our services and programs are designed to contribute to your emotional well-being, in order to help you succeed in school and guide you toward a more fulfilling life.

Walk-In Counseling

We have a Walk-In Counseling Clinic every weekday from 9 am to 4pm, where you can simply come to our downtown offices on the 3rd floor of the Student Services Building and tell the receptionist you want to speak with a counselor. No appointment is necessary!

After-hours Emergencies

Please call (304) 293-4431. We staff an after-hours telephone crisis consultation service for psychological emergencies. The WVU Department of Public Safety will take your phone number, and immediately contact the Carruth Center staff member on duty, who will assist you.

If you or someone you know is having suicidal thoughts, call the National Suicide and Crisis Hotline: 800-SUICIDE / 800-784-2433.
