The Counseling Center staff strives to promote the psychological wellbeing of students from diverse backgrounds; to foster
their development, learning, and academic success; and to provide appropriate intervention when students are experiencing
serious mental health concerns. We aspire to respect cultural, individual, and role differences. Our goal is to create a safe, supportive and affirming climate
for individuals of all races, ethnicities, national origins, genders, gender identities, sexual orientations, religions, ages,
abilities, sizes, socioeconomic statuses, languages, and cultures. Counseling Services are limited to enrolled BGSU students, and are provided at no charge. Although there are no specific limits
on the number of counseling sessions available to individual students, our goal is to provide quality services in as short
a time as possible. On-going counseling is by appointment only. However, initial appointments/consultations can occur during
our walk-in hours or be scheduled, whichever is easier for the student. In addition to providing walk-in services our staff will continue to
offer emergency services whenever our office is open. Please see our office hours for additional information.
Issues often addressed in counseling include: study/test taking concerns; stress/anxiety reduction; relationship concerns;
depression; family concerns; eating disorders; sexual concerns; grief and loss; and other related concerns.
