Treatment Services
Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences (MCPHS) offers free and confidential counseling services to students of the Boston, Worcester, and Manchester, NH campuses. These include:
- Short-term individual and couples counseling
- Crisis management
- Psycho-educational workshops and programs
- A resource and referral service
- Consultation to student groups, faculty, and the college community
Short-Term Individual Counseling Appointments
MCPHS Counseling Services offers short-term treatment. Students often seek help for concerns related to the following:
- Stress management
- Adjustment to college
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Eating disorders
- Family and relationship problems
- Substance abuse
- Sexuality
- Sexual orientation
- Cultural issues
Following an initial intake appointment, our counselors will review a student’s needs to determine whether short-term treatment with MCPHS Counseling Services or a referral to an outside provider is needed. Students treated by us are matched with a counselor and set up with a treatment plan with a specific number of recommended sessions (usually four to eight).
