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.

Getting Started

The first step to accessing Counseling Center services is a 15-minute consultation with one of our mental health clinicians. During this initial visit, the counselor will assess the student’s primary needs and goals.  In collaboration with the student, the counselor will review strategies and recommend a care plan that may include individual therapy, support groups, skill-building workshops, or care coordination for specialized treatment in the community.

Check out the options below to explore our services and get started.
