Students seek counseling for a variety of reasons. No problem is too small or big. Reaching out for help is a sign of strength. The Counseling Center is staffed by Licensed Counselors who will collaborate with you and assist you in addressing issues that affect your emotional wellbeing. Addressing these issues will help eliminate obstacles in your personal and academic life. With a few legal exceptions, counseling is a confidential process. All services provided by the Counseling Center are free. To engage in counseling or for more information, e-mail counseling@csi.cuny.edu.
Individual Counseling
Individual counseling involves meeting one-on-one with a professionally trained counselor to work through issues you may face in college and your personal life. Common concerns include anxiety, depression, relationships, family issues, drugs/alcohol, grief, self-esteem, stress and traumatic experiences. Your counselor can also help you with academic concerns such as adjusting to college, concentration, study skills, text anxiety, procrastination and time management. It is best to seek help early before your concern becomes overwhelming. Problems that are ignored can affect your schoolwork, job, life at home, and your relationships with others. Counseling may be brief or longer term. Counseling is always voluntary. If you are interested in individual counseling, e-mail counseling@csi.cuny.edu. Same day and next day appointments are available. A member of the Counseling Center will contact you to arrange an appointment.
