ABOUT THE CENTER

Using Center Services

Hours: The Counseling Center is open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. In an emergency after hours, Counseling Center personnel can be reached by the Campus Police, at 410-704-2133.

Costs: Most Counseling Center services are free to TU students. A very few services involve a nominal fee.

CONFIDENTIALITY. Counseling often deals with very personal and highly private issues. Successful outcome depends on a feeling of freedom on the client's part to express feelings, attitudes and thoughts with people who respect them and their right to privacy. Interviews conducted are confidential and information is not released except with the client's written permission or as may be required by law. The importance of confidentiality is reflected in the Counseling Center's adherence to the Code of Ethics of the American Psychological Association. For more on confidentiality.

YOUR INITIAL CONTACT. To use the Counseling Center, call 410-704-2512 or come to the Glen Esk building to schedule an initial ("intake") appointment. Emergency appointments are also available upon request. Your "intake" counselor will help you to resolve your immediate concerns and to determine what ongoing Center services will be the most useful.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. If you cannot keep an appointment, it is important for you to notify the Center as soon as possible to assure continued service.
