Student Counseling Center

The Office of Student Affairs has staff members whose goal is to assist you in succeeding in pharmacy school. Our team works closely together in support of students. The following services are available to support students in their journey to becoming a pharmacist.

Mental Health Counseling and Wellness Services

A licensed clinical social worker (LCSW-R) provides confidential counseling services to students. All sessions are on-site and free. No record of seeking services is part of a student’s academic or administrative record. Referrals are also provided to external psychiatrists, therapists and other mental health professionals. The mental health counselor does not release information without consent of the client. Touro University also subscribes to the 24/7 Support, Information and Referrals, and Crisis Intervention: Health Advocate Student Assistance Program (855-384-1800) or https://members.healthadvocate.com.

Students may seek counseling services for a variety of reasons:

  • Concerns about academic performance

  • Stress

  • Test anxiety

  • Keeping life in balance

  • Lack of confidence

  • Shyness

  • Procrastination

  • Relationship Issues

  • Difficulty sleeping

  • Sadness/depression

  • Racing thoughts

  • Difficulty making decisions/concentrating

  • Chemical addictions and recovery

  • Eating concerns/eating disorders

  • Loss and grief

  • Family and parenting concerns

  • Mood disorders, anxiety and personality disorders

As part of the Office of Student Affairs, the TCOP Counselor also works closely with all members of the Touro College of Pharmacy community to help create a healthy and balanced environment to foster personal growth and development as well as a sense of community connectedness and responsibility.
