Frequently Asked Questions
I anticipate needing on-going counseling for a psychological concern. Can I work with a psychologist at The Wellness Center?
The Wellness Center (TWC) offers short-term individual and group counseling services to enrolled Carleton students. Counselors will meet with students needing longer-term care to help them find appropriate referrals in the community. The Wellness Center also provides the services of a psychiatrist whom students may see free of charge, upon referral from another TWC staff member. Students who anticipate needing long-term counseling or who begin college with a history of serious mental health concerns (chronic depression or anxiety, serious eating disorders, bipolar disorder, etc.) should establish care with a local psychological provider with whom they can establish an ongoing therapeutic relationship.
