Balancing the demands of college and personal life can be challenging. The Hunter College Counseling Service is here to help students handle this stress and pressure successfully and constructively. At times, just talking can make a difference while other times, more intervention is needed. We strive to help our students manage the demands of life through the provision of confidential and individualized counseling services. Our licensed mental health professionals can assist students in overcoming personal, academic, and/or crisis situations that could negatively impact their progress and success at Hunter College.

The Counseling Service works closely with the Office of AccessABILITY, Wellness Services and Advising Services to provide comprehensive and coordinated services to all students. We work to create a learning environment where our students feel safe, respected and valued and facilitate the process of developing a balanced and healthy lifestyle, including care for oneself.

Office hours are Monday 9:00am–5:00pm, Tuesday - Thursday 9:00 am – 7:00 pm and Fridays, 9:00 am - 5:00 pm in Room 1123 East Building. For appointments, please visit 1123 East Building or call (212) 772-4931.
