The Counseling Center contributes to the educational mission of Skidmore College by providing a unique context in which students actively reflect on personal dimensions of their college experience. We offer confidential and professional mental health services to students struggling with a variety of social, emotional and psychiatric problems (such as adjustment to college, depression, family problems, anxiety, sexual assault and eating disorders).We help students better understand their emotions, motivations, needs, and values, as well as their own identities and relationships with others, so that they can engage more fully in their academic and co-curricular lives at Skidmore. We serve as a resource and advocate about mental health issues to the larger Skidmore community, and we seek to educate and promote wellness in the broadest possible context. Finally, we provide consultation, liaison and support to parents, fellow students, faculty and staff members who are concerned about a Skidmore student.

The Counseling Center is on the first floor of Jonsson Tower
