Our Role

We provide a safe, supportive environment in which students can explore the inevitable problems and conflicts they will encounter in their young adult years. In order to meet the developmental needs of an increasingly diverse student body, the Counseling Center provides flexible and varied approaches to helping students on campus and will also refer students to off-campus resources as needed.

In addition to providing individual counseling to students, the Counseling Center also serves as a professional resource to the Wheaton community. We offer a variety of outreach programs ranging from mental health screenings to workshops focusing on specific issues. The Counseling Center is staffed by licensed mental health professionals and graduate interns in advanced training. Any concern that a student brings to the Counseling Center is treated with respect, caring, and confidentiality.

Counseling services are confidential and free of charge to all Wheaton students.
