Welcome
Please Note: We are moving to a new building. Starting in the Fall of 2008 we will be located on the 5th floor of J. Walter Wilson on the corner of Brown and Waterman streets. Come see us in our new space!
Summer Services
Before using our services during the summer (May 27th-August 22nd), you will need to pay the Summer Health Fee -$120, paid at Health Services, 863-3953.
(Summer Studies tuition includes this fee for students while enrolled.)
To schedule an appointment with a Psychological Services clinician:
During June: phone the office at 863-3476, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
During July and August: phone Health Services at 863-3953.
We consider it to be a sign of strength when a student decides to seek help. We know that the counseling process can result in healthier adjustments and personal growth for people who seek it.
Students from all of the diverse backgrounds represented in the Brown community make use of our services. They come to us during times of crisis and high stress, when their usual coping mechanisms are not working well, or when they are faced with making difficult decisions. They may be having problems relating to friends, roommates or family; struggling academically; having difficulty declaring a concentration; or feeling anxious or depressed.
Our staff has many years of experience in dealing with a broad range of problems. We provide crisis intervention, short-term psychotherapy, and referral services. We offer consultation to students, faculty and staff who are concerned about the well-being of students. Our appointments are free of charge, our contacts with students are confidential, and we are available when classes are in session.
Please contact our office by phone or come in person to Psychological Services. We don't recommend your trying to contact us by e-mail because we then cannot adequately protect your privacy.
If you have a psychiatric emergency, or have been sexually assaulted or harassed, crisis support is available 24 hours a day during the school year, (and M-F, 8am-4pm during summer months), through our on-call system at 863-3476.
