Your health and well-being are important and CHWS looks forward to being in continued partnership as you navigate your college experience

CHWS providers can function as your primary care provider while you are at Puget Sound. Appointments are required and can be made by phone, 253.879.1555. A co-pay will be charged to your student account for medical visits.

Students seeking counseling services may call to schedule a recommendation and referral visit with a counselor. During this visit the therapist will assess your needs and provide recommendations for therapy which may include referral to off campus therapy, or on campus individual or group therapy. Counseling visits in CHWS are free. If you are in the area and experiencing a mental health crises please call 911 or the Pierce County Crises Line at 1.800.576.7764.

CHWS uses the HIPAA compliant TAO platform located on the Counseling, Health, & Wellness Services website to provide telehealth medical and counseling appointments as needed/desired.

For Telehealth visits, please log into TAO before your scheduled appointment to set up an account

  1. Go to our website, click on TAO and sign up for TAO self-help. This will ensure you have an active account when you schedule your appointment with a provider.
  2. Five minutes before your first teleconference appointment, go to the videoconferencing tab and select the start videoconference. You will need to download the TAO zoom app prior to your first appointment. You will not need to do this for subsequent appointments unless you change the device you are working on. You will need to download TAO zoom for each new device once.
  3. You will not see your provider until they enter the virtual/zoom room. If your provider doesn’t show immediately, please wait at least 5 minutes after the scheduled appointment to disconnect because they may be experiencing technical difficulties or be running late from another meeting.
  4. Note, you may only meet with your provider during pre-scheduled dates and times.
  5. If you are attending a group, the group leader will send you a link to join the group at the appointed group time.
  6. Please call the front desk if you have questions and a provider will get back to you as soon as possible.
