Personal Wellness Counseling

Widgets

College can be tough on your mental health and we want you to know that you do not have to walk this journey alone.  Our counselors are available to help you identify healthy ways to cope with the issues that come up as you pursue your education.  We believe all students can thrive with relevant, consistent support and we are here to be a part of your success team!

We are currently offering both virtual and in-person appointments to accommodate various preferences. Our services are free and confidential for all currently registered Minneapolis College students.

We are also excited to offer a weekly peer-led mental health support group on Thursdays from 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. in T. 2151 this Spring 2024 semester! Trained peer support leaders will facilitate discussions about mental health and connect students to the appropriate campus resources.

To Schedule an Appointment:  

Log in to Navigate, select "Appointments," then select "Personal Wellness Counseling." Be sure to have your star ID and password information handy as you will need both to access Navigate. 

Appointments are 50 minutes long and counselors are usually able to meet with students every two weeks.
