The Counseling Office is located on the first floor of Deering Common. To sign up for a 45-minute appointment with one of our counselors, click here:

After you've clicked the button and selected an appointment, you will be prompted to create a Schedulicity username and password. You will only have to register once. The online system is completely confidential and only your counselor will be able to see that you've booked an appointment. After signing up for a time slot, you and the counselor will receive a confirmation email.

Please be aware that there is a $10 copay for each appointment. If this presents a financial hardship for you, please contact Lauren Rupp or Sarah Luke. If you feel that you would benefit from speaking with a counselor, lack of funds should not prevent this support.

Students experiencing a mental health crisis and needing immediate assistance should call 1-888-568-1112. This is a 24 hour statewide hotline with supportive, trained counselors at the other end of the phone. Callers can talk to counselors about anything.

Please contact Lauren Rupp, Coordinator of Wellness and Campus Engagement, should you have any questions. She can be reached at ext. 5671 or lrupp@coa.edu.
