Connect with Kelli, Our Embedded Counselor
EXP Embedded Clinical Counselor
We’re fortunate to have Kelli Canada, a clinical counselor from the Counseling Center, right here in our suite! She’s available to meet with students in two easy ways:
Let’s Talk
Sometimes you just need a quick check-in. Let’s Talk is a 15-minute, drop-in chat with Kelli. It’s not formal counseling—just a chance to ask questions, learn about Counseling Center services, or talk through what’s on your mind. There’s no cost, and it doesn’t go in your student record. Do be aware that limits to confidentiality during Let’s Talk include when there is an immediate threat of harm to you or others or when a minor, vulnerable adult, or animal is being abused; Let’s Talk consultants are required by law to report this.
Schedule a Counseling Appointment
If you’d like to set up an actual counseling appointment, you’ve got options:
- Email Kelli directly at kcanada@illinois.edu to request a first meeting.
- Call the Counseling Center at 217-333-3704 (calling before 9AM helps if you want a same-day appointment).
- If you’re dealing with something urgent, you can also walk into the Counseling Center (2nd Floor) and let the front desk know you need to be seen.
