  Open Office Hours - 'Let's Talk' Appointment

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.

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

  How do I make a referral?
