WUDirect: WashU Psychiatry

Dedicated access to mental health services for WashU employees.

Washington University Psychiatry now offers dedicated access for WashU employees and their dependents. These clinicians are part of the WUDirect benefit.

Our therapists take a goal-oriented, actionable approach to assisting with various social, emotional, or behavioral challenges you or a family member may be facing. Some of the typical presenting struggles that employees or dependents may seek therapy for include chronic or situational stress, anxiety, depression, persistent relationship conflicts, or unhealthy behaviors you would like to change. Appointments may occur once a week to every other week and last for approximately 60 minutes. 

This therapy program is designed to be short-term in nature and find therapeutic benefits within 6-16 sessions. Your provider will check your progress periodically and for the potential need for a referral to a long-term community provider. Around session 12, your therapist will collaborate closely with you to find a long-term therapy provider.
