The Bridgewater College Counseling Center stands ready to assist students in resolving their mental health concerns. Each year, many students use the Counseling Center to address the emotional stressors that impact their daily experience on campus. The Counseling Center is composed of licensed professional counselors, residents in counseling, and graduate counseling interns who are prepared to provide quality mental health services. Treatment at the BC Counseling Center takes a holistic solution-focused approach to healing and begins with individual therapy.
Referrals for additional services (e.g., long-term therapy, group services, health services, academic services, specialized treatment, etc.) are made as needed. The staff works closely with campus partners to ensure campus resources are utilized. Counseling services are confidential, and students counseling records are maintained separately from all other College records.
Students who come to Bridgewater with a previous mental health history or are under the care of a mental health provider or psychiatrist are encouraged to contact the Counseling Center staff prior to the beginning of the semester to coordinate care and ensure a smooth transition.
The Counseling Center is open 8:30AM to 4:30PM, Monday through Friday. Appointments can be made by visiting in person at 101 N. Third Street, emailing counseling@bridgewater.edu or calling 540-828-5402.
