Student Counseling Center 

Individual Counseling

Discussion & Support Groups

Support groups are for students who share a particular issue, such as a family member with an alcohol problem or relationship issues.  Meetings are usually held once a week during the fall and spring semesters. You are welcome to join a support group at any time during the academic year. Available support groups include Al-Anon, relationships, self-esteem and grief support.

Community Referral

The Counseling Center works closely with other professionals in the Western New York community. When needed, you may be referred to other resources in the nearby community.

Consultation to Faculty, Staff and Students

Prevention and early intervention are helpful to assist students in achieving personal and academic goals at Hilbert. We welcome consultations about psychological and educational issues by working directly with faculty and staff concerning  a particular student's need or how to work with different student populations. To maintain client confidentiality, no information is released to faculty or staff without a student's written consent. We also consult with students who may be concerned about helping another student, friend or loved one.

Support for Families

To ensure confidentiality, we can never confirm nor deny a student is being seen at the Counseling Center. We can listen and support parents and families and refer them to other resources on or off campus if needed. We are willing to meet with families of students if the student requests it as part of their counseling process. Parents or family members who have concerns about their student at Hilbert should contact the counseling director at 649-7900, ext. 232, or e-mail us.
