Counseling

The Hampden-Sydney College Counseling Center offers a wide range of counseling and mental health services to the College community. We welcome students of all backgrounds, beliefs, and orientations.

If you are a student, you may be interested in individual, group or couples counseling. Confidentiality concerning Counseling Center services is guaranteed, except in rare circumstances.

For faculty, staff, parents and friends who are concerned about an individual student or an issue affecting mental health on campus, the Counseling Center is available for consultation.  We can help you understand when to make a referral to the Counseling Center.
