The Wellness Center is open Monday through Friday from 9:00am to 5:00pm. Please email wellness@ursinus.edu if you would like to schedule a counseling session or have questions or concerns related to counseling.

We support students in exploring and furthering their sense of selves by facilitating interpersonal and experiential insight, fostering effective communication and coping skills, and promoting independence, personal responsibility and respect for all forms of diversity.

Our Commitment to Diversity

The Counseling Center values the diversity of the Ursinus community and supports the dignity and worth of all people.

We are committed to embracing diversity in all of its forms as a core value. We welcome students of all ethnicities, races, gender identities, sexual orientations, nationalities, religious or spiritual beliefs, ages, body sizes, political beliefs, abilities and socioeconomic classes. The Counseling Center strives to create an open and inclusive environment in which differences are valued and to provide culturally competent clinical services and community interventions. Students can expect an atmosphere of acceptance and respect as they address their concerns as we aim to provide a safe, welcoming and affirming environment for all persons who utilize our services.

The therapists in the Counseling Center operate from the belief that human development, psychological functioning and one’s sense of self are significantly influenced by culture. We seek to understand students, their experiences and psychological concerns within their underlying cultural, social, political and economic contexts. We aim to be responsive to the multicultural needs of an increasingly diverse Ursinus campus community, to facilitate students’ participation in Counseling, and to foster a campus culture that nurtures the psychological well-being of all. To this end, we strive to develop culturally sensitive models of service and to provide outreach and education on mental health issues to a diverse campus community. Therapists are committed to the continuous examination of our own cultural identities, assumptions, beliefs, values and biases and to the regular participation in continuing education and training in order to enhance our knowledge, awareness and skills necessary to provide culturally relevant and sensitive services.
