Albion College Counseling Services: Albion College Counseling Services offers a comprehensive range of free services to all currently enrolled Albion College students, regardless of citizenship status. These services include individual and group psychotherapy, substance abuse counseling, educational and psychological testing, and psychiatric consultations.
All services are confidential as covered by state HIPPA laws and our professional code of ethics and conduct. This means the citizenship status of students using counseling services is not reported to anyone outside our office.
Our hours are 8 a.m. to noon and 1 to 5 p.m., Monday-Friday. We also have an on-call counselor available after hours and over the weekend. To contact the on-call counselor, contact campus safety and ask to speak with the counselor on-call. Our office is located in the white building across the street from Wesley Hall.
