All professional counseling services are completely confidential. NO ONE, including parents, relatives, friends, or college staff, can access any information about a student without their consent. The only exceptions are suspected child abuse, threats to harm self or others, emergency hospitalization, or civil lawsuits when one’s mental state is an issue in the case.

College brings changes, decisions, and often a great deal of stress into a student’s life. Sometimes students find pressures unmanageable or unbearable. During these times, almost everyone needs help in making decisions, handling stress, and responding to a variety of needs and experiences including, but not limited to:

• Family & home problems
• Romantic relationships
• Conflict resolution
• Self-esteem
• Depression & Loneliness
• Alcohol & drug problems
• Academic Distress
• Adjustment Difficulties
• Crisis intervention
• Stress management
• Traumatic Experiences
• Gender and/or Sexuality related distress
• Anxiety
  

A first-time appointment can be made by e-mail, phone (859-985-3212), or walk-in.

The initial appointment will consist of an intake appointment with one of our therapists. During this appointment, the therapist will ask questions about the student’s needs, concerns, and goals. The student and their therapist will work collaboratively to determine the most appropriate next steps for the student. The appointment will typically last for 50 minutes.

All currently enrolled students, and their partners can see a therapist for Free.

Berea College Counseling Services does not have a session limit.

Yes, you can request a specific therapist, but wait times may be longer.
