Mental Health Services at Bentley

Counseling Center

The Counseling Center is available for all students who are seeking mental health support. The Counseling Center staff are available for an initial consultation, which will be used to assess and determine the best course of action to help a student. If appropriate, staff can schedule students for short-term therapy. Should it be determined that more long-term, intensive, specialized or local support is necessary, Counseling Center staff will assist with connecting students with those resources.

If you are interested in scheduling a consultation appointment, click here.

Counseling Center staff provide a welcoming environment and are committed to supporting the identities, beliefs, and experiences of all students. The Counseling Center understands the importance of stating forthright that we are strongly in support of all identities and stand against any act of hate.

BetterMynd

Bentley University is partnered with BetterMynd, an online therapy platform, to offer students access to free weekly teletherapy sessions from a diverse network of licensed mental health counselors.

These 50-minute live video sessions are private and confidential and can take place from the convenience of your laptop, smartphone, or tablet. Teletherapy sessions are available during the day, at night, and on weekends, so you can get support whenever it's best for you.

Protocall

Bentley University is partnered with Protocall to provide 24/7 crisis support for our students. Protocall is a crisis support phone line where students can receive immediate support from a mental health professional at any time of day or night. Students can reach Protocall by calling the Counseling Center main number (781-891-2274) and then following the prompts to speak to an afterhours clinician. This is an on-demand service that can be accessed for immediate support at any time of the day.

Habit Support

Managing substances and potentially addictive habits can be tricky. If you’re wondering about your habit, worry about losing control or noticing unwanted impacts, we can help.

‘Habit Support’ isn’t a boring lecture or guilt trip. It’s informal, no-strings-attached confidential support from a professional psychologist who’s been there, done that, and came out the other side. We’ll focus on what’s important so you can achieve the lifestyle that works.

Schedule ‘Habit Support’ by calling the Counseling Center (781-891-2274) or emailing Dr. Alex Lemiszki at Alemiszki@Bentley.edu .

Let’s Talk

Let’s Talk provides students with informal, confidential drop-in conversations with Bentley Counseling clinicians as a comfortable and convenient non-treatment alternative to formal mental health care. At pre-published times, clinicians are available for 1 on 1 conversations in private rooms near popular campus locations. Students can walk-in with no appointment or paperwork needed and enjoy a fully confidential, no-strings attached professional conversation on whatever topic they wish.

Togetherall

Bentley University is partnered with togetherall, an anonymous online peer support community that is available 24/7, 365. The online peer-to-peer community is monitored 24/7 by licensed clinicians. Students can register for the togetherall platform using their Bentley email address and immediately join an international community of peers focused on improving their mental health and wellbeing.

Togetherall can be accessed from a smartphone, tablet, or computer. Students can connect and share in a safe, anonymous space with others who understand. In addition to peer support, students can benefit from a host of wellbeing tools, including self-assessments and courses that can help to improve insight and promote resilience. Togetherall is not a crisis service – students seeking urgent support should access the 24/7 Protocall crisis line.
