Counseling Centers

Each of the general undergraduate colleges at Rutgers-New Brunswick has its own psychological counseling service. Students at the Mason Gross School of the Arts, School of Engineering, Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy, Rutgers Business School: Undergraduate-New Brunswick, School of Communication, Information and Library Studies, and the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy may seek assistance at the counseling center of their college of affiliation.

The counseling centers provide free and confidential psychological counseling for students, on both an individual and a group basis. Centers are staffed by clinical and counseling psychologists, masters level clinicians, and graduate students under professional supervision. Students are encouraged to use the counseling centers for any of a variety of psychological or emotional concerns that may affect their academic work, including anxiety, depression, relationships, and family issues. Services are available for a range of concerns from minor situational crises to long-standing psychological issues that cause major disruptions in life. In most cases, students needing longer-term care will be referred to other nearby services.

Counseling centers also offer psychological education programs on such topics as stress management, eating and body image issues, test anxiety, interpersonal relationships, conflict resolution, and bereavement.

Appointments can be made by contacting the appropriate office: Cook College Counseling Center, Cook Campus Center, 732/932-9150; Douglass College Psychological Services, Federation Hall, 732/932-9070; Livingston College Counseling Services, Tillett Hall, 732/445-4140; Rutgers College Counseling Center, 17 Senior Street, 732/932-7884; and University College Office of Advising and Counseling, Miller Hall, 732/932-8093. Only the Rutgers College center is open during Summer Session.

There are also several peer counseling programs at the university. These student-run programs provide drop-in centers and/or telephone hotlines for students needing someone to talk to, information, or referral to campus or community agencies. Information about how to reach them can be obtained through Rutgers Information and Referral Center, 732/932-INFO.
