Our Mission

The mission of Counseling Services is to support and enhance the total educational experience of SUNY Delhi students. Counseling Services provides prevention, intervention, and referral to students as well as consultation to faculty, staff, and families to assist them in addressing the psychological needs of students.

What Happens at the Counseling Service?

Once a student contacts us, an appointment is made.  This is usually within a few days from the time of contact, but can often even happen the same day, especially early in the semester.  In an emergency, the student will be seen that day.

Intake forms are completed prior to the student being seen.  During the first meeting a counselor assesses the student's needs and the ways that counseling may be able to help.  Options the counselor considers include individual counseling,  groups or workshops, or referral to other support services if appropriate.  Some students may leave the initial appointment feeling able to handle their concerns without further assistance.

Counseling services provided for students are free and confidential.  Information is released only with a student's written permission.  This means that a counselor cannot discuss the student's situation with anyone unless the student provides written permission.  Exceptions to confidentiality may occur if there is clear danger to self or others or in the case of court-ordered subpoenas.
