Overview

The Counseling Center’s primary purpose is to provide psychological support to students as they pursue their academic and personal goals, and to enhance the quality of each student’s experience at Oberlin. The Counseling Center is primarily intended for assessment and short-term counseling, with referrals to private counselors in the Oberlin area if necessary. The center itself is funded through tuition, and no extra fee exists for its use, although students are responsible for the cost of any external services.

At the Counseling Center you may discuss and explore freely, in confidence, any problems, feelings, or fears that are important to you. The ultimate goal is to help you grow in self-understanding, so that you can better cope with your immediate situation and with future decisions.

You will find our offices a short walk from the center of campus in the Professional Services Building at 247 West Lorain St., Suite D.

Same day walk-in crisis consultation hours:
