We accommodate requests for initial appointments as soon as possible, usually within 5-7 days, depending on staff and student schedules. Please note that while we will do our best to honor a student’s wish to meet with a specific staff member, this is not always possible.
Referrals
Generally, an initial appointment with a counselor is necessary to determine appropriate referrals to off-campus services. As requested, or when otherwise appropriate, Counseling Service staff will make referrals to other mental health professionals, usually for specialized psychological testing, individual psychotherapy, group psychotherapy, or private psychiatric medication management. Please call to discuss referrals to an off-campus clinician, or email WellnessCenter@nec.edu . Information about referrals are considered Confidential.
