Services
Chatham's Counseling Center provides counseling and other wellness-based services for students. We are committed to helping you meet your academic and career goals, to promoting your emotional well-being, and to supporting you if you are experiencing challenges.
We offer two ways to meet with us for the first time. If you want to start therapy, you can request an intake. This is a 50 minute appointment. If you aren’t sure that you want to starting counseling, or want a quick check-in, you’re welcome to request a concise appointment, which takes 25 - 30 minutes. To schedule an appointment, log into MyChatham and navigate to the Counseling Center, to complete the online forms. You can also walk in to complete intake papework
We also offer short term individual counseling, walk- in consultations, referrals to community providers, and crisis appointments. We provide outreach programs for classes and campus-based groups on a variety of topics, including stress management, how to help a friend, mindfulness and more.
We are excited to share that we have therapy dogs on campus! Check out MyChatham for when the therapy pups join us!
Full-time current students may receive ongoing counseling. For part-time students, we are happy to connect you to community resources.
Our Counseling Center is a training site, which means that the licensed psychologists on staff supervise graduate students in doctoral programs for psychology as they provide counseling. Chatham students may meet with a practicum student or a permanent staff member.
