Point Park Student Counseling Center

Point Park student counseling services are FREE to all full and part-time students.

Every part of our lives plays a role in our well-being: Personal growth, relationships, grief and loss and much more. Getting help for your emotional well-being can vary from using a single counseling session or a series, to starting an exercise program, to reading a brief article and applying the advice you find here.

The services are confidential. The staff are licensed professionals that abide by the Pennsylvania state laws for privileged communications.

The student counseling center provides counseling, support and referrals for the concerns students have such as:

• Stress, anxiety, and depression
• Career and work-related challenges
• Adjusting to new responsibilities
• Family issues
• Healthy lifestyle changes
• Sexual issues
• Depression and other mental health problems
• Alcohol and drug concerns
• Eating disorders
• Grief and loss
