SHAC - Counseling Services
Counseling Services
Counseling Services offers comprehensive clinical services to the full-time undergraduate and residential graduate students of Manhattanville University free of charge. We offer individual, group, couple, and family therapy, as well as consultations, assessments, psychiatric evaluations, crisis intervention, and referrals. We also have a wellness room that includes a massage chair, a lightbox, and biofeedback.
Counseling Opportunities
Individual Counseling
Individual counseling offers students a safe, confidential, and supportive environment to discuss a range of concerns. These may include adjustment challenges, homesickness, relationship stress, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, family conflict, gender and sexual identity, alcohol or substance use, eating disorders, and more. Counseling Services operates on a brief therapy model to meet the needs of the entire student body. In your first session, you and your counselor will discuss how we can best support you. If long-term counseling is needed or if your concerns are beyond our scope, we may refer you to an off-campus mental health provider. In such cases, Counseling Services will assist in finding and transitioning to an appropriate external provider.
TGNCNB Counseling
SHAC Counseling Services is dedicated to providing affirming, high-quality mental health support to transgender, gender non-conforming, non-binary, and students of diverse sexual orientations. Our staff are trained in the complexities of exploring sexuality, gender identity, and the coming out process. Students may find it helpful to meet with one of our counselors for support and guidance as they navigate these significant milestones in their identity development.
