The Student Counseling Center offers free, confidential, short-term counseling and referral support to full-time undergraduates actively taking classes as well as students enrolled in the post-bac pre-med program at Goucher College.
Counseling Center Staff recommend that current and prospective students in need of
ongoing, long-term mental health support (including psychiatric medications) familiarize
themselves with their insurance benefits, particularly with regards to authorization
of ongoing mental health services in the state of Maryland.
