Counseling Services
Location: Woodland Hall
Telephone: 412-365-1282
Visit their website
Confidential short-term individual counseling for full-time registered students, assessment and referrals for part-time registered students, and specific educational workshops are available for every Chatham student experiencing personal, social, or family concerns. Students may seek counseling for a variety of reasons, such as difficulties in personal relationships with family members or peers, emotional or social difficulties, stress, concerns about academic progress and career direction. Counseling is viewed as enhancing a student’s personal growth and development so that the maximum benefit can be derived for the college experience. When appropriate, referrals are made to consulting psychiatrists or to a community agency. Appointments should be made by calling or by leaving a confidential message at x1282. Calls are returned as soon as possible.
We strongly encourage students with a previous history of involvement with mental health professionals (psychiatrist, psychologist, therapist, etc.) to remain in treatment with those professionals or obtain comparable treatment within the Pittsburgh community.
