If you have an appointment scheduled on a day when a weather-related closure is announced, your therapist will reach out to you to discuss alternative arrangements.

On days when the center remains open, if traveling to our clinic would put you at risk, please let us know and we’re happy to work with you to find a safe option. Telehealth accommodations may be available at the therapist’s discretion.

Hi everyone! My name is Aaliyah Melendez and I am one of the undergraduate clinical assistants at the Harris Center at the University of Kentucky!

This year, I have had the wonderful opportunity to assist both in clinic and behind the scenes on social media. Mental health is something that deeply matters to me and being able to work in a therapy setting while helping promote awareness has been such a rewarding experience

After I graduate this spring I plan to work as a clinical or research assistant as I am working towards my masters in clinical mental health to become a licensed therapist and I hope to work in pediatrics. I am so excited to continue learning and and growing in this field!
