The Bard Counseling Service is here to support you during your time at Bard and will be available via teletherapy for the foreseeable future. Please note: Due to regulations in some areas of the US and abroad, we may not be able to provide ongoing counseling to students who are currently located outside New York State. If that is the case, we will offer you options and help connect you with local mental health resources in your area.
We offer individual short-term counseling as well as 24/7 crisis services for students who are on campus, or live in the Bard area. To find out more about what we do please visit our website regularly as it is often updated. We also serve as a referral source for students to regional experts in areas such as psychological testing, eating disorder programs, addiction services, long term therapy and psychiatric services. Our counselors are highly experienced, licensed professionals, each of whom brings specific areas of expertise, experience and passion to our community. We are members of and participate with several College Counseling organizations including CCNY, AUCCCD, and are a founding member of the Hudson Valley College Counseling Forum. Please contact us via email ([email protected]) or by phone (845-758-7433) should you want to speak with us about our services, or if you have an idea of something that you would like to see offered by our department.
