Students sitting on campus

Here to help you thrive

At Hamline, we know that your personal wellness is key to your success. That's why here at Hamline, you’re part of a community that cares. We’re here to support your needs with counseling and health services and a peer wellness education program so you get support not only from us but from other students as well.

We also recognize that many students face significant and longstanding social and economic barriers in pursuing higher education. Our office is dedicated to providing you with a caring environment that is welcoming, trustworthy, equitably accessible, and affirming of all identities.

Let's Talk

Considering counseling, but feeling hesitant?  Unsure if your issue requires counseling?  Reluctant to go through a formal appointment process? Let’s Talk!

Let’s Talk sessions are brief (15 to 20 minutes), informal, and confidential individual consultations with a professional counselor, with no appointment or intake forms required.

Times and locations for the fall 2024 semester are coming! Please check back. 

 

 

Join a therapy group

In addition to individual counseling services, we offer a variety of counseling groups during the fall and spring semesters. Joining a therapy group will provide you with an opportunity to: 

  • Connect with peers about shared concerns
  • Learn about yourself
  • Gain more skills to manage your current concerns
  • Interact with others in a meaningful way

Psychologists from Counseling and Health Services facilitate groups and are free to Hamline students. Before joining a group, students must attend a 30-minute screening and orientation meeting.

Therapy groups are currently being organized for the fall 2024 semester. Please check back!

Peer wellness education

The Hamline Peer Wellness Education program is dedicated to fostering student-to-student communication about common health concerns that arise during college, and proactively promoting student wellness. Peer wellness educators specialize in areas of mental health, nutrition, sexual health, relationships, and decisions around drug and alcohol use. 

Serving as a peer wellness educator is a great opportunity for students interested in a future career in healthcare, or for anyone who is simply interested in personal health and well-being.

The opportunity to work with Peer Wellness led me to the career path I want to go down—public and sexual health—and my public health minor gave me a lot of professional connections that I will be able to use after I graduate.
