Personal Counseling Center Students face a number of challenges in their years at Providence College, and the Personal Counseling Center is here to help them meet these opportunities to integrate their personal, social, intellectual, and moral development. The center provides a safety net to help students deal with the stress and concerns which may be interfering with their ability to function in a healthy manner. Individual counseling is provided to students who present a wide scope of conflicts such as developmental issues, situational crises, or long standing interpersonal problems. The center also assists students in integrating their psychological development with their academic development.
All services are confidential within the limits of the law and ethics.
If the student s counseling needs are long term, or for any other reason it is deemed appropriate, referrals are made to individual professionals and agencies outside the college community. The college maintains a Student Health Center staffed by three part-time physicians and seven registered nurses. The Edwin B. O Reilly Center is located adjacent to the Huxley Avenue gate. It is closed weekends, holidays, and college recesses. Physicians are available to examine students during scheduled office hours.
