Individual Counseling
The Counseling Center offers free, confidential individual counseling to all currently enrolled Notre Dame of Maryland University students. Whether you’re experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, grief, academic challenges, or simply feeling stuck, our counselors are here to support you.
Counseling is a collaborative process that provides a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore your concerns, develop coping skills, and work toward your personal and academic goals. Sessions are tailored to your individual needs and may be short-term or ongoing, depending on your situation.

Drop-In Hour
Need to speak with someone today? During Drop-In Hour, students can meet briefly with a member of the Counseling Center staff without an appointment. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, facing a difficult situation, have a quick question, or simply need someone to talk to, we’re here to help.
Drop-In Hour is offered Monday through Friday at 12:00 p.m. for a 30-minute session. It is available on a first-come, first-served basis. While we will do our best to see everyone who stops by, wait times may vary depending on student demand.
To attend, simply come to the Counseling Center in Theresa Hall, Suite 016. No appointment is needed.
Chat with a Counselor
Not sure whether ongoing counseling is right for you? Looking for guidance on a specific concern? Chat with a Counselor (CWC) offers confidential, 30-minute consultations with a member of our Counseling Center staff. These brief sessions are designed to answer questions, discuss a particular issue, explore available resources, or help you determine what type of support would be most helpful.
Chat with a Counselor appointments are offered twice each week and must be scheduled in advance. Appointments may be available in person or virtually.
