The counseling process is designed to help you address concerns that may be interfering with your personal growth, development, or academic potential, including, but not limited to, adjusting to college life, stress and time management, anxiety, depression, family and relationship problems, crisis intervention and addiction. It involves a relationship between you and a trained counselor who has the desire and willingness to help you accomplish your individual goals, come to a greater understanding of yourself, and learn effective personal and interpersonal success strategies.
Currently enrolled full-time students are eligible for a free and confidential consultation. The initial appointment is for screening, assessment and establishing a plan. Our model is a brief therapy model with most students receiving a maximum of eight sessions. You may be referred to off-campus health, mental health, or substance abuse professionals. If so, you are responsible for their charges.
The Counseling Center provides programming relating to the mental health of the campus community. Topics include dealing with stress, creating and developing healthier relationships and lifestyles, protecting yourself from sexual assault, learning how to communicate effectively, coping with depression, among others. Requests for programming require a minimum of two weeks notice.
The Counseling and Personal Growth Center is located in Selwyn Hall South (between the Campus Center and the library). During the academic year, appointments can be made by calling the Gable Health Center Secretary at 610-921-7532, Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:30 a.m. - 12 p.m. and 1:30 - 5 p.m.
The Counseling Center staff does NOT provide 24-hour coverage. If you are experiencing an actual mental health emergency and need immediate assistance please go directly to the Safety and Security Office or call them at 311.
