Counseling Services promotes overall health and wellbeing by helping students overcome obstacles that may otherwise prevent them from attaining academic, personal, and professional goals. It is Counseling Services mission to foster health and wellness by helping students make positive choices that will enable them to thrive in all aspects of their development.  In working with students we acknowledge that their individual needs are unique and thus treat each person with dignity and respect.

Counseling Services provides free year-round counseling, crisis intervention, consultation, and referral services to the Seton Hall University community. All matriculated students, including undergraduate, graduate, law, and seminary students, are eligible for direct services.  Direct services include individual and group counseling. We offer short-term individual counseling with 15 maximum sessions per academic year.  The duration of participation in group counseling is unlimited. University faculty, staff, administrators, and alumni can receive referrals and consultations.

Students seeking counseling are encouraged to call to set up an appointment at (973) 761-9500. Students may also stop by in-person and request to meet with a counselor.  Our offices are located on the second Floor of Mooney Hall.  We are open Monday - Friday, 9am - 5pm.  Limited evening hours are available by appointment only.  Counselors are available after hours (between 5pm-9am weekdays and on weekends) for emergency phone consultation and crisis intervention.  To reach an on-call counselor, please contact Public Safety at (973) 761-9300.

In addition to our clinical services, student groups and organizations can request  psycho-educational presentations, programs, and workshops that can help to enhance the interactions, performance, and well-being of their members.
