Let’s Talk is informal and not intended to be a substitute for formal counseling and doesn’t constitute mental health treatment.  However, counselors can listen to specific problems, help explore solutions, and introduce you to what it’s like to speak to a member of our staff. Speaking with a Let’s Talk counselor can help provide insight, support, and information about other resources.  Let’s Talk at Ithaca College is based on the Let’s Talk Program at Cornell University.

• No appointment is necessary, so you can drop in during the times identified in the schedule.
• Offered first-come, first-served
• Minimal paperwork
• FREE for ALL Ithaca College Students;  Confidential

Let’s Talk is the best fit for the following people:

• Students who are not sure about counseling and wonder what it’s like to talk with a counselor
• Students who are not interested in ongoing counseling but would like the perspective of a counselor.
• Students who have a specific problem and would like someone with whom to talk it through.
• Students who have a concern about a friend and want some ideas about what to do.

No topic is off limits. Common concerns include:

• stress
• sadness
• worry
• relationships
• academic performance
• family problems
• financial struggles

In addition, Let’s Talk is available to faculty and staff if the consultation is in regards to a student they are concerned about.
