Columbia University Health Services

Counseling and Psychological Services (CPS) offers free psychological counseling to all undergraduate and graduate students who have paid the Health Service Fee .

CPS offers short-term individual counseling, couples counseling for students and their partners, student life support groups, medication consultation, training and emergency consultation. Students are encouraged to select a CPS clinician (bios and photos are available online). The University’s Health Service Fee includes limited coverage for off-campus outpatient mental health services. Students must obtain a referral from a CPS clinician prior to beginning psychotherapy, psychiatric services or substance abuse treatment to make use of insurance benefits provided through the fee. When CPS is closed, a clinician-on-call can provide telephone advice about urgent mental health concerns.
