Services

Individuals and Couples Counseling

You can meet individually with a professional staff member to explore your concerns, increase understanding of yourself and others and learn how to implement solutions to a problem. Couples, in which each partner is a currently enrolled Drexel student, can work on relationship problems and learn to improve their communication.

Crisis Counseling

At some point you may find yourself facing a personal crisis. A breakup in a relationship, academic problems, death of a loved one, or parental divorce are examples of potential crisis situations. We can assist you with sorting things out and by suggesting strategies to ease, to better understand, or to resolve the situation. You can walk-in to the Counseling Center if you are in crisis anytime between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday and be seen immediately. You can contact the Counseling Center any time, day or night, by calling (215) 895-1415.

Support Groups

Sometimes being a member of a group is the best way to enhance personal growth and to develop social skills. Being part of a group offers the opportunity to meet in a supportive environment with people having similar concerns. Groups offer members the opportunity to express and work on feelings, to learn from other’s experiences, to provide others with the opportunity to learn from you, and develop new skills. Groups are formed in response to students’ needs and interests. Contact the Counseling Center for more information.

Referrals

Your Counselor may determine that your needs would best be met by another resource on or off campus. We can provide you with the information you need and assist you with locating the most appropriate treatment.

Consultation

At times you may wish to talk to the Counseling Center staff member to get advice about how to handle roommate conflicts, how to get someone you care about to get help, or other issues that are causing you concern. Consultation services are always available to faculty and staff who wish to discuss a concern about a student.

Workshops

Counseling Center staff members are available to provide workshops for your class or organization on topics related to psychological/emotional health. We are willing to present at your location. Some examples of popular workshops are:

• “How to Manage Stress”
• “What is Counseling?”
• “Understanding Date Rape and How to Prevent It”
• "Building Decision Making Skills”
• "Feeling Good: Self-Esteem”
• What’s the Difference?: Substance Use and Substance Abuse”
• “Relationship Issues”
• "Healthy and Unhealthy Eating”

Anyone having a claim or dispute arising out of or relating to the quality of the health or medical care received at a student health clinic or counseling center, or from an athletic trainer or doctor, must attempt to resolve it first through the Drexel Healthcare Mediation Program before filing a claim with a court.
