Counseling & Consultation Services

Overview

The staff at the Center for Counseling & Consultation is dedicated to helping St. John's students to cope more effectively with personal or emotional difficulties that may interfere with their ability to live well, relate to others, and succeed academically.  Our services include assessment, individual and group counseling, crisis intervention, consultation and referral.  Psychiatric consultation is also available when appropriate.

All services are free and confidential within the limits of legal and ethical restrictions.

The Center operates within a short-term counseling model and students with more longstanding or specialized issues will be helped to find more appropriate resources within the community.

As part of the Department of Student Wellness, Counseling and Consultation Center staff also works closely with all members of the St. John's community to help create a healthy and balanced environment to foster personal growth and development as well as a sense of community connectedness and responsibility.
