Counseling Services
Most students will experience a significant amount of stress during the college years. Adapting to a new environment and new people, building a career path, establishing an identity while being away from the familiarity and comfort of home-all this can make life very difficult. For these and many other reasons, counseling and therapy is offered to every Bentley student for as long as they are affiliated with the institution. A staff of psychologists, social workers and counselors with over 80 years of combined experience is available to work with students on any concern they might have.
Located in 166 of the LaCava Campus Center, this is a free service for all students. Appointments can be made by phone, email, or by a visit. Additionally, there are drop-in appointments each day for urgent issues. Although sessions are unlimited, students can determine for themselves how long they wish to use the service. Most importantly, all conversations are treated as confidential as defined by the ethical guidelines of the American Psychological Association. For those not familiar with a counseling service, you are certainly welcome to come in to discuss what is offered and how it might be of use to you.
A fully professional service, ongoing training and development for staff is provided on ethics, professional issues, and treatment innovation. Several staff are licensed practitioners in Massachusetts. Further, the Center has been accredited by the International Association of Counseling Services since 1994.
