Let's Talk

Visits are individual and first come, first served. Usually, there is not much of a wait. The counselor will listen closely to your concerns and provide support, perspective, and suggestions for resources.

This service is open to enrolled Radford University undergraduate, graduate, and professional students. Let's Talk is the best fit for the following people:

• Students who are not sure about counseling and wonder what it's like to talk with a counselor
• Students who are not interested in ongoing counseling but would like the perspective of a counselor
• Students who have a specific problem and would like someone with whom to talk it through
• Students who have a concern about a friend and want some thoughts about what to do

No. Let's Talk is one-on-one informal counseling where you will sit with a clinician and talk about what is going on, as needed. This is first come, first served, so you may wait for another student to finish their consultation before being seen - but you will be alone when chatting with a Let's Talk counselor.

Absolutely. The counselor will talk through your concern(s) with you and help you determine the best way to get help.

Conversations with Let's Talk counselors are confidential, with a few very rare exceptions. Counselors may need to share information in an emergency when there is an immediate threat of harm to self or others. Counselors are required by law to report when a minor, elderly person, or someone otherwise incapacitated and unable to act on their own behalf is being abused. Let's Talk counselors keep brief, written notes of their contact with students, and in the event that there is an emergency or a student is referred to Student Counseling Services, may see these notes. Let's Talk visits are not noted on a student's offical university record. We don't want anything to be a barrier to students accessing help. If you ahve further questions about confidentiality, we encourage you to discuss them with a Let's Talk counselor.
