Counseling Services at The HUB offers "Let's Talk" walk-in sessions (no appointment necessary) for all of our students. Fall Semester, 2019 we offer the following days/times for these sessions: Mondays, from 2:00-4:00 PM, and Fridays, 9:00-11:00 AM. We will have expanded hours during exam week, and those hours will be posted at a later time.

Welcome

Xavier Health and Counseling Services welcomes you! We know that making your first appointment with a therapist can be scary. It may even be the most difficult step in your journey to wellness. You are not alone. We support you and will be right along with you as you take steps to improve your mental health and well-being.

Who We Are

The clinical psychologists and counselors on staff at Xavier Counseling Services are licensed in the state of Ohio. The staff also includes a board-certified consulting psychiatrist for you if you need medication or hospitalization. Free of charge, students can benefit from the same quality of service that's available in a private practice. In addition, Xavier University is a designated JED Campus, a nationwide initiative designed to guide schools through a collaborative process of developing comprehensive systems, programs and policies with customized support to build upon existing student mental health, substance abuse and suicide prevention efforts.
