This paper aims to report the experience of a psychological care service for university students through the brief psychotherapy approach. The reported experience refers to an extension project that began its interventions in October 2018, with a projection duration of two years. It happens at a public university in the Amazon. The characteristics of the project are described by pointing out the main complaints of the students and the psychotherapeutic strategy used in this extension. The experience is discussed as a possibility of leap to the constitution of mental health care networks of broader university students, with a view to promoting the autonomy of the subjects involved. It is considered that this experience of EPSICO not only highlights the place of psychology in other contexts but also broadens the debate about the performance of psychology and its tools and places of action in promoting mental health.
