Center for Counseling and Psychological Services
Welcome to the Ithaca College Counseling Center!
Life in college is a time of great change and personal growth. It is exciting, satisfying, and sometimes challenging. For many students, there are times when all the demands and excitement may feel overwhelming. Ithaca College understands that students need many kinds of support to help them succeed.
Fully accredited by the International Association of Counseling Services (IACS), the Ithaca College Counseling Center is available to help
- students who need individual attention for resolving personal or interpersonal problems;
- students who desire guidance in dealing with the demands of academic life; and
- friends, faculty, family members, and others who have concerns about the well-being of an Ithaca College student.
In addition to counseling and psychological services, the Ithaca College Counseling Center provides outreach and educational services through specialized programs, including
- Suicide Awareness and Prevention
- Health Promotion and Substance Abuse Prevention
- The Center for LGBT Education, Outreach, and Services
Licensed and licensed-eligible psychologists and social workers provide clinical and crisis intervention services. Clinical staff and health educators provide information and educational services to the campus community.

Our offices are located in the lower level of the Hammond Health Center, and we have a private entrance near the U parking lot. Business hours are from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.
