MSM Counseling Center

MSM’s Counseling Center is located on the first floor of our main building (rooms 104 & 106) and is open to all students.

Counselors see students by appointment, booked through the MSM Counseling Center Scheduling Form. Please fill out this form if you are looking to meet with one of our counselors.

College life can bring both ups and downs for students. Some situations students encounter will be small and manageable, others may be moderate and increase anxiety or impact mood. At MSM, students are not alone. The Counseling Center offers each student approximately 8 free sessions of short-term, confidential counseling. If longer term treatment would be helpful or is necessary, the psychologist working with the student will provide a recommendation.
