  On this site you will find general information about the Emerson College Counseling Center (ECCC), as well as information on specific topics relevant to mental health and wellness. You can also access many links to helpful online resources, including confidential, anonymous screenings for mental health.

  MISSION AND PHILOSOPHY

  
  
  

  Our primary goal is to help students fully develop their intellectual, emotional, and social potential.  We believe that your psychological development is affected by your personal history and the larger social, cultural, and physical environment. Our work is focused on helping students prevent, reduce, or eliminate emotional and psychological barriers that may interfere with this developmental process. It is a sign of strength to explore personal concerns and feelings in therapy, and we regard your concerns with respect, curiosity, and interest.

  At the ECCC, we provide brief psychotherapy for individuals, couples, and groups, as well as consultation to faculty, staff, and concerned friends and family as needed. We provide training and outreach to the campus community to contribute to the creation of a healthy campus environment in which students can thrive. The ECCC is committed to creating and maintaining an open and accepting environment in which all clients feel welcomed and valued.

  CONFIDENTIALITY

  
  
  

  At the ECCC, we care about protecting your privacy, and believe that counseling is most effective when students feel comfortable speaking openly with their counselor. Under ordinary circumstances, no one outside the ECCC is given any information — even the fact that you have been seen here — without your written consent. There are a few exceptions to confidentiality that your counselor will discuss with you in your initial session. These typically refer to situations where safety is a concern.
