Towson University’s Counseling Center provides brief but comprehensive support services that promote the personal, social, and academic success of Towson University students. We help students learn to cope with the stresses of change and growth so that they can thrive during their college years and beyond.
Welcome to the Counseling Center at Ward and West. Located on the 2nd Floor of the Health and Counseling Centers.
Meet our wonderful staff! They are here to help you Monday through Friday.

We offer individual sessions for students seeking mental health services.
We also offer Group Counseling sessions on a variety of topics!
During the Spring 2020 semester the Counseling Center will be open from Monday to Friday from 8:00 P.M. to 5:00 P.M. The Counseling Center will offer an exciting new option of an evening drop-in group. We are excited to present Let's Talk Wellness, a new initiative! Join us at the Counseling Center on Tuesday, Wednesday, & Thursday evenings to meet with other students for a chance to discuss life challenges, share resources, provide support, and learn about wellness in a comfortable environment. TUCC Staff will present at each event to help facilitate discussion and provide some insight when relevant. Let's Talk Wellness is open to all students and does not require a formal intake. It is perfect for students who are simply looking for a place to feel supported as they tackle life challenges. To attend one of these groups, please drop by the Counseling Center at 5 P.M. on Tuesday or Thursday, or at 6:00 P.M. on Wednesday.
The Counseling Center will be open Monday to Friday, 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. during the spring semester with evening hours on Tuesdays & Thursdays until 6:00 p.m., and Wednesdays until 7:00 p.m.
Call 410-704-2512 or stop by the Counseling Center to arrange for a private meeting to discuss you concerns.
Our services are confidential and for most, there is no fee.
Due to the high demand on our services, students who miss appointments will be charged $20. For more information, check out student services.
If you are unsure if you or a friend needs help, please watch Emotion 101, a video created by the Half of Us campaign to encourage students to get help and remind them that it is okay to seek help.
The Counseling Center also seeks to improve the quality of life on campus as a whole. Recognizing that the university community includes people with a wide range of concerns and needs, we provide programs and presentations by request, and offer a full calendar of events during the academic year.
The staff members of the Towson University Counseling Center strive to affirm, promote and celebrate diversity. We are committed to be aware of and understand diversity in its broadest sense.
The staff at the Counseling Center values the importance of diversity for all individuals. People from every background are affected by issues of culture. Multicultural competence is therefore an essential component of our work with every client.
We all benefit from an understanding of how power, privilege, cultural identities (e.g. gender identity, race, religion, sexual orientation, ethnicity, nationality, social class, and many others) and individual differences affect our daily experiences.
We recognize that students come to the center at various levels of comfort with these identities and therefore, make it a priority to meet students where they are. All of our lives are enhanced by a better understanding of the diverse world in which we live.
Monday - Friday 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
Tuesdays & Thursdays until 6:00 p.m.
Wednesdays until 7:00 p.m.
