The Counseling Center supports the academic, personal, and interpersonal development of Ithaca College students by providing short-term individual, group and couples counseling, consultation for faculty, staff, parents, and students, and educational programs to the campus community.
Student come to the counseling center with a range of problems.
Many have issues related to their normal development, such as identity or relationship issues. Others are dealing with more specific psychological issues such as depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, bereavement, substance abuse, or eating and body image issues. A counselor can help them sort out what's wrong and suggest ways to get back on track. Any student can make an appointment for an initial visit with a counselor, at which time the student's needs are assessed. Follow-up sessions are scheduled as appropriate to help a student work through his or her problems.
