Towson University's Counseling Center is the primary source of personal counseling and psychological help on campus for students. The center works with students to resolve emotional difficulties; improve personal skills; overcome the effects of trauma, disadvantage or substance abuse; and achieve personal goals. Staff counselors are equipped to provide students with psychiatric services, individual and couples counseling, alcohol and drug counseling, and more. Most Counseling Center services are provided free of charge.
