Who uses the Counseling Center - Most students using the Center are free of any mental illness. Our staff is experienced in supporting students through the normal developmental challenges of their current life stage. The Center is well used by our student leaders and academically most talented students. For students who encounter a more difficult condition such as depression, anxiety, panic, or disordered eating, the staff is also experienced in diagnosis, crisis intervention, and treatment of these conditions. Services are available to all students currently taking classes toward a degree.
Location - Room 206, Health Services Building , (610) 519-4050. The building is located at the Main entrance to campus, from Ithan Road, across from the Pavilion and the Business School.
Cost - All services are free of charge to current students.
Scheduling Appointments - Appointments are scheduled by phone or in person Monday through Friday between 9:00am and 5:00pm. There is usually less than a 3 day wait for an appointment, and students can be seen the same day if necessary.
Confidentiality and privacy - All contacts with the Counseling Center are confidential, except in situations where laws or ethics require notification of a family member.
