Student Counseling Services:
The Student Counseling Services are intended for students who seek help with personal distress and psychological
problems. The counselors are psychologists, social workers, and psychiatrists
specializing in work with students
on campus.
The counseling programs:
• Individual psychological therapy
• Groups: dealing with problems in a group setting
• Couple and marital counseling
• Therapy for conditions of depression, anxiety and other emotional and functional problems
• Study skills and test anxiety
The first counseling appointment can be arranged by going in person to the Student Counseling Services. A fee is
charged for each session.
A student in acute or immediate need can go to the Student Counseling Services without prior notice or an appointment.
The student will be seen by a counselor for screening, and together they will try to find a way to handle
the immediate problem. Students needing help after hours, including Fridays and Shabbat, should contact their
madrich in student housing.
Every student at the Hebrew University is entitled to use these services. Needless to say, all contact with the Student
Counseling Services is absolutely confidential. All information, including the clients identity, is confidential and will
not be given to any person or organization
outside the Counseling Services without the consent of the student.
