Let's Talk


“Let’s Talk” is a free, confidential, drop-in consultation service offered by Counseling Services at TAMUK. It’s open to students, staff, and faculty, providing easy access to brief support without appointments or paperwork.

What Happens:
Consultations last about 15–20 minutes and are offered on a first-come, first-served basis. A Counseling Services clinician listens to concerns, offers perspective, and provides guidance or resources. Sessions are confidential, with exceptions as required by Texas law (e.g., safety concerns).

How It Differs from Counseling:

  • Let’s Talk offers informal, one-time consultations.
  • Regular counseling through Counseling Services involves ongoing sessions (45–50 minutes) and a longer-term commitment.
  • Let’s Talk does not make you a Counseling Services client or require follow-up sessions.

Who It Helps:

  • Those wanting quick guidance or perspective.
  • Individuals with a specific concern or question.
  • People seeking help for a friend or guidance on supporting others.
  • Faculty or staff concerned about a student.Let's Talk Location QR Code
