Columbia University Health Services

Short-term individual and couples counseling is available by appointment for students enrolled in the Health Service Program . Students requesting an appointment for individual counseling for the first time will have a phone interview with a Counseling and Psychological Services (CPS) clinician who will discuss the student’s needs and set up the initial visit. Students requestng an appointment for couples counseling will be given an intake appointment with one of our counselors who specializes in couples counseling. Students with acute psychiatric emergencies will be seen without an appointment whenever CPS is open. Students are encouraged to select a clinician , and may also request to transfer to a different clinician at any time. To meet the needs of the many students who utilize CPS each year, services are time-limited.
