How can we help?
Counseling Center
Individual Counseling
Individual Counseling is a personalized and confidential process where a student meets one-on-one with a trained mental health professional to address personal, emotional, academic, or psychological challenges and is completely FREE for our students!
Prevention, Advocacy & Wellness Services (PAWS)
Prevention, Advocacy, and Wellness Services (PAWS) helps students achieve academic success and personal growth, establish healthy relationships, and realize well-being by providing direct support and connection to appropriate University and community resources. We seek to create a safe, healthy, compassionate, and enriching environment for all students and members of the SUNY Fredonia community.
Groups & Workshops
The Counseling Center offers a variety of group and workshop experiences that are fun, informative, and thought provoking, designed to help participants safely explore themes related to developing a firm sense of who they are and what they want out of life.
Let's Talk
Let's Talk will be paused/suspended during the spring 2025 semester due to declining utilization over the past several years. We intend to launch a reimagined and revitalized Let's Talk program for the 2025-2026 academic year
