GME Wellness Counseling

Graduate Medical Education Wellness Counseling provides free and confidential services to residents and clinical fellows in the Washington University Medical School/Barnes Jewish Hospital/St. Louis Children’s Hospital Graduate Medical Education Consortium.

Our services promote well-being, help reduce clinician burnout, and support mental health. There is no need for a specific mental health diagnosis in order to seek services. In fact, many of the trainees we work with are addressing an acute stressor, seeking support in making an important decision, dealing with conflict in relationships, or managing the ups and downs of being human. At times, trainee issues like these can be addressed in a single session. If you are wondering if a single session, a series of sessions, or ongoing counseling could be helpful for you, we encourage you to make an appointment. This is a time of growth and stress. You are not alone. Your willingness to talk to a professional is a courageous move and we are honored to walk this journey with you.

Confidentiality:

Counseling services are confidential in accordance with the ethical standards of the American Psychological Association (APA) and state and federal law. Neither the fact that you seek counseling nor any information disclosed in the sessions will appear in your GME training records.
