To Meet With a Counselor

  • Attend our walk-in hours Monday-Friday from 9:00 a.m.-noon and 1:30-4:30 p.m. You can schedule a follow-up appointment or request a specific counselor moving forward.

  • To join a therapy group, attend a walk-in appointment or email the group leader to schedule a pre-group meeting.
  • If you have a mental health need after business hours or on the weekend, call the on-call counselor at 315-228-7385 and dial #2.
