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. In addition to our Resident Assistants, Director of Residence Life, Director of Student Engagement and Dean of Students, we also have the Manhattan School of Music Counseling Center.
The Counseling Center offers each student 8-10 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.
