Hello students, faculty and staff,
The staff at Counseling and Wellness Services hopes you are doing well and welcome you all to Hudson Valley Community College for the Fall 2020 semester! We hope you have had a great first few weeks of the semester. We wanted to connect with you all and share some updates about our services for the Fall semester.
Counseling and Wellness Services is available to all currently registered students for short-term individual counseling and wellness needs. Our staff of licensed mental health counselors are here to support you and help you achieve your academic and life goals.
We offer individual counseling and wellness sessions that last up to 45 minutes per session, as well as brief consultation sessions, lasting up to 30 minutes, to discuss the Academic Waiver process, discuss and provide referrals to both on-campus and off-campus resources specific to the student and their current needs, and other brief mental health or wellness concerns. We schedule our sessions on the hour, starting at 9 a.m. with our last session scheduled at 3 p.m. We are located on the second floor of the Siek Campus Center in the Wellness Center, room 260, signs will lead you to our temporary side entrance for the semester.
While we have counselors available on campus for in-person services, we will continue to offer our services remotely, either by phone or via Zoom for video sessions for the safety and wellness of our students and staff. When calling to make an appointment with a counselor, please indicate the method of tele-counseling (phone or Zoom) you prefer, along with your name, date of birth, Hudson Valley ID number (H00), and a phone number where we can reach you.
Should a student be experiencing a mental health crisis, Public Safety is the point of contact, both during and outside of normal business hours. Public Safety will connect with a counselor from Counseling and Wellness Services, during normal business hours, as needed, to address the student’s concerns. Public Safety (518-629-7210) is located on the first floor of the Siek Campus Center.)
We look forward to working with all of you this semester. Students, faculty, and staff, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us by phone at (518) 629-7320 or via email at counseling@hvcc.edu if you have any questions or concerns about our services.
We wish you all the best this semester and know that we are here to support you!
Best wishes,
The Staff at Counseling and Wellness Services
