Mental Health Services at Bentley

The Counseling Center is available for all students who are seeking mental health support. The Counseling Center staff are available for an initial consultation, which will be used to assess and determine the best course of action to help a student. If appropriate, staff can schedule students for short-term therapy. Should it be determined that more long-term, intensive, specialized or local support is necessary, Counseling Center staff will assist with connecting students with those resources.

c staff provide a welcoming environment and are committed to supporting the identities, beliefs, and experiences of all students. The Counseling Center understands the importance of stating forthright that we are strongly in support of all identities and stand against any act of hate.
