Counseling Center
The Counseling Center provides mental health services to students and is staffed by licensed and experienced professionals skilled in handling a variety of presenting concerns. Services are designed to assist students in resolving issues that interfere with their ability to successfully navigate the Mines journey. We are dedicated to providing a safe, affirming and culturally informed space in order for all Mines students to feel seen and valued at the Counseling Center. Services are confidential, voluntary and covered by student fees.
Initial Consultation
The first step to Counseling Center services is a 15 minute consultation with one of our counselors. During this initial meeting, the counselor, in collaboration with the student, will recommend services within the Counseling Center or the community that may include in-person services, remote services, workshop suggestions or community referrals and assist students in obtaining the appropriate services to meet their needs.
