Counseling Services provides free year-round counseling, crisis, consultative 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 a maximum of 15 sessions of individual counseling and unlimited group counseling.
