122|Page Counseling Center The Counseling Center offers short-term, solution-focused counseling services to undergraduate and graduate students struggling with emotional and psychological difficulties. Our faculty counselors work with students to foster personal and academic growth and success. Counseling services include individual and group counseling, outreach, and crisis intervention. Students who require more intensive, long-term, or specialized psychological services not offered by the Counseling Center will be offered referrals to appropriate services in the community. To avoid dual relationships, students who receive counseling services through the KU Counseling Center may not concurrently or subsequently work as a practicum student, intern, student worker or graduate assistant. Counseling services are provided by doctoral and master's level licensed mental health professionals. Services are also provided by master’s and doctoral level student counselors in-training under professional faculty counselor supervision. Counseling services are confidential, within the limits of applicable laws. The Counseling Center (610–683–4072) is in Beck Hall 122 and is open 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Mondays and Fridays, and 11:00am – 7:00pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays during the fall and spring semesters.
