Student Counseling Services

All services are provided at no cost. We ask that all students seeking services call at 516-463-CARE (2273). Students can be seen for sessions on-site at Student Counseling Services or remotely through telemedicine via secure video conferencing.

Students who are seeking remote telemedicine appointments can schedule an appointment for a brief phone screening. During phone screening, a member of our treatment team will briefly assess concerns and discuss treatment options. All students who wish to be seen remotely must receive phone screening.

Eligibility for short-term individual therapy is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Factors affecting eligibility include a student’s needs, student’s location, and session availability. Students may be referred to short-term individual therapy, participation in skill-building groups, or to an off-campus provider.
