Counseling Services

The Austin College Counseling Service supports the academic mission of the College by providing crisis intervention and short-term counseling services to students encountering psychological problems that could interfere with their academic progress. Psychoeducational programs, addressing high frequency mental health issues in the college population, are presented throughout the year by staff and trained peer educators. All members of the Austin College community can contact counseling staff to obtain information, consultation, and referral options for treatment issues beyond the scope of those offered at the College.

Counseling services on a short-term basis are available to assist students in dealing with personal issues and emotional concerns. Individual counseling sessions, self-help resources, and workshops on various topics are offered on campus to assist students with their psychological well-being and individual development. Students may use this service by making a confidential appointment at Adams Center. There are no fees for these services.

Contact Information

Office hours are 8:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Counselors are on call after hours for emergencies and may be contacted via Campus Police at 903.813.2555.

The Counseling Center generally operates on an appointment basis; however, walk-ins are welcome. Students wanting an appointment should call Adams Center at 903.813.2247 or stop by to make an appointment. Appointments are usually available within 48 hours. After the first appointment, the student and counselor will collaborate to determine the best course of action.

Students in crisis will always be given priority, with all service users informed that their appointment may be rescheduled should an emergency arise.

The counselor is available to consult with faculty members about concerns they may have in dealing with a particular student or with their approach to students in general. This may be done over the phone or by appointment.
