Counseling Services

Counseling Services help students navigate the complexities of college and life experiences, whether they are adjusting to a new environment, managing academic pressures, or addressing personal concerns. Our counselors work collaboratively with students in a goal-oriented manner to help them explore and better understand their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.

Services focus on developing strategies for managing stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns.

Please complete the New Client Paperwork form and the CCAPS assessment here to begin the process.  It should take about 15 minutes to complete the paperwork.

For additional questions, email the Wellness Center at Wellness.Center@msj.edu or call 513-244-4949.

Beginning July 1, 2024, The Mount is excited to partner with Uwill Student Mental Health & Wellness to provide Free Immediate access to Teletherapy, Crisis Support & Wellness.

Let’s Talk is a free and confidential meeting with a MSJ counselor for a brief 30 minute conversation.  Think, open “office hours” for counselors. 

This may be a good choice if:

• You have never been to counseling and wonder what it would be like to speak to a counselor.
• You have a specific problem you would like to talk through.
• You are unsure what resources are available to you.

Is this counseling?

• This is not a substitute for counseling and is not appropriate for urgent or mental health emergencies.  Please visit our Crisis Resources listed below for urgent or mental health emergencies.
• Students can schedule a Let’s Talk appointment by calling 513-244-4949, stopping in the Wellness Center during regular business hours or completing the online Let's Talk Consent Form here.

Are you a faculty or staff member who is concerned about a student?  The staff in the Wellness Center are available to meet with you for a consultation to provide information and resources.  Please note that confidentiality is the cornerstone of our work and we are not able to provide any information about current clients without a Release of Information. 

To schedule a time, please email the Wellness Center at Wellness.Center@msj.edu or call 513-244-4949.
