We Understand the NU Experience—And We’re Here to Help

At Connections Health, we offer specialized mental health support for Northwestern students—undergraduate and graduate Northwestern students including MBA, JD, MD, and PhD. We understand the challenges that can arise during your time at NU, from academic pressure and identity exploration to navigating relationships, life transitions, and trauma.

Our team provides individualized care with flexible scheduling—both in-person at our Evanston office (just minutes from campus) and via telehealth. We’re also here to help you identify and connect with campus resources, supports, and opportunities that match your needs and interests.
