Individual Counseling

In addition to our group counseling services we also offer individual counseling. Counselors provide academic, career and personal counseling to help students succeed in life. Meeting with a counselor in their office, students are encouraged to talk about any problem or situation in their life that is interfering with their success in college. This may include family or relationship problems, financial problems and confusion over major requirements or college regulations etc. Counseling sessions may take one or more meetings with a counselor to review concerns and explore possible resolutions. We do not offer on campus psychiatric services or long-term psychotherapy. However, we can help you find services in the community that can help you with almost any need you have.

Walk In hours

(No Appointment Needed) Counselors are available on a walk-in basis during their office hours. If these times are not acceptable, you can email one of the counselors or call the center (718-260-5030) to make an appointment. Note: Counselors teach and conduct several workshops a week, so their schedule might not be able to accommodate every time period. If you chose to come to the center when a counselor is not available, another counselor will be available to meet with you.

Workshops

Students are invited to attend these student development workshops. These sessions help students become better prepared for college work. We also address career goals and some of the difficulties that could arise during your enrollment. Please review this list for a more detailed description of our offerings.

Workshops for Students

Crisis Counseling

Sometimes, students can become so overwhelmed by life that they see no possible resolution. Fear of failure, or problems with relationships, family, finances, medical, legal or academics can lead to excessive stress and anxiety. On rare occasions, students may feel so depressed that they think about hurting themselves or someone else. During these times class performance may suffer and some may consider dropping out of college. If this describes you, you may need the help of a crisis counselor. Crisis counselors are trained to deal with students under stress. They offer insight into personal problems that might seem overwhelming. As a result of talking to one of our crisis counselors you may end up feeling better about yourself and your situation. Email us at Counseling@citytech.cuny.edu to speak to a crisis counselor. Please note we do not offer on campus psychiatric services or long-term psychotherapy. Our center offers short-term counseling. Because our resources are limited, counselors may refer students who are in need of more in depth psychological mental health services to competent community mental health services.
