The Counseling Center

Counseling and Psychotherapy

The Counseling Center provides currently enrolled Pratt students confidential, and goal-oriented individual and group psychotherapy, assessment, consultation, and referrals to outside providers. We are staffed by licensed psychologists and clinical social workers, who specialize in working with young adults and have a wealth of experience in college mental health. In addition, a consulting psychiatrist is available for psychotropic medication evaluation.

We offer daily appointments (Monday-Friday) for both in-person and virtual/remote sessions and we are available 24/7 if you have an urgent concern and need to speak to someone.

We can be reached by phone at (718) 687-5356, or email at therapy@pratt.edu, or you can come in person to our office to make an appointment.  

Scheduling an Appointment 

Consultation appointments are available Monday through Friday, from 9am-3pm. If you would like to make an appointment, please email therapy@pratt.edu or give us a call 718.687.5356.

  • When requesting an appointment, please provide your current availability and Pratt student ID number 
  • You will need to complete your forms for your appointment in Pratt’s Student Health Portal, register at: https://pratt.medicatconnect.com/ 
  • Counseling services are open and free to all matriculated undergraduate and graduate students
  • All services and communications are completely confidential

Following an initial assessment, short-term individual therapy or group therapy with one of our staff therapists may be recommended; alternatively, a staff therapist may determine that your needs would be best served by a referral to an off-campus treatment provider.

Crisis Counseling & Support After-Hours

Students who need crisis counseling, can contact us 24/7. During regular office hours, you can reach us via email (therapy@pratt.edu) or by calling us. After-hours crisis support is available by calling our main number 718.687.5356.

If you’re concerned about your safety or having a mental health emergency, dial 911 and alert Pratt Public Safety at 718.636.3540.

The information that you provide to our counselors is maintained with a strict adherence to confidentiality in accordance with laws and professional ethics.
