Short-term Counseling
Focused, solution-oriented therapy to address immediate concerns. Our short-term counseling services are designed to provide brief, individualized sessions aimed at stabilizing emotional distress based on each student's unique needs. This form of therapy focuses on addressing immediate concerns and developing effective coping strategies to manage stress and emotional challenges.
Acute Care
Immediate mental health support for urgent situations.
Consultation Line
A dedicated phone line for students, parents, faculty, and staff to connect with a mental health professional for advice on connecting a Columbia College student with care, get resources, and request support for a student who appears to be struggling with their mental health.
This is NOT a crisis line and may go to voicemail or experience a wait to connect with a mental health professional. Immediate mental health crises must use 911, campus security or your closest mental health crisis center. Access crisis resources HERE
