Counseling Services

College can be an exhilarating and stressful time in your life.

Seeking support through counseling is a way to take care of your well-being. Asking for help is a sign of courage and strength, and just recognizing that you might benefit from talking to someone is a huge step. Often a counselor may provide a new perspective, as well as a renewed sense of confidence and competence.

If you are not currently in Rhode Island, consultation and referral options are available. In certain cases, remote counseling may be available if our counselors are licensed in other states. When you request services, please let us know where you are residing so we may respond accordingly.

Psychiatric services are limited in Rhode Island and particularly on Aquidneck Island. If you have a current prescribing provider, we strongly encourage you to continue with this provider. We do keep list of local providers that we can email you as well.

There are a handful of ways to find a local therapist or psychiatrist. The easiest is to contact your insurance carrier and ask for mental health, behavioral health or psychiatric referrals to ensure that you have coverage.
