Student Services
Students may experience challenges that impact both their academic and personal lives in college. You do not need to be facing a serious issue to speak with a counselor—sometimes it is helpful to simply talk things through. Common concerns include adjusting to college, relationship issues, anxiety and depression, family stress, substance use, social anxiety, eating and body image concerns, and identity development.

Crisis Counseling
REACH Counselors are available during office hours for students in crisis, and On-Call Counselors are available after hours for additional support.
Let's Talk
“Let’s Talk” offers informal, confidential consultations with CPS counselors. Drop-in hours are available at different sites on campus and are open to all students.
Group Therapy
For many of the issues college students face, group therapy has been shown to be the most effective treatment approach.
Individual Therapy
Individual counseling allows you to speak privately and confidentially with a trained counselor about personal concerns and/or emotional problems with the goal of facilitating personal growth.
Psychiatric Services
Psychiatric services at Rowan are limited. All students receiving psychiatric services at CPS must be referred by their CPS counselor.
Alcohol & Other Drug Services
Individual and group treatment for students with alcohol and other substance use concerns are available. CPS is also able to provide referrals to community treatment options.
Appointment Policy
Keeping appointments is important. A missed appointment hinders your progress and limits service availability to other students.
Policy on Confidentiality
Counseling & Psychological Services is committed to maintaining the confidentiality of all who visit. All counseling records are confidential and are never added to educational records. Communication between counselor and client are privileged, confidential and safeguarded.
Under no circumstances will any information regarding counseling be released by the CPS staff to anyone outside of the Rowan Counseling & Psychological Services without a student’s prior written authorization, except in the following situations:
1. When there is a risk of impending harm to oneself or another person. The Counseling Center staff is legally and ethically bound to do whatever is necessary to protect life.
2. When there is reasonable cause to suspect that a child, elderly person or mentally incompetent person is being abused, neglected or exploited. The Counseling Center staff is legally bound to report such abuse.
3. When a court of law orders information to be released the Counseling Center staff may be legally bound to comply.
Participation in group counseling requires you to commit to maintaining the confidentiality of that group.
