Free Online Therapy for Students
The Beard Wellness Center has partnered with BetterMynd to provide free online therapy sessions to eligible students.
What does BetterMynd offer?
BetterMynd offers 50-minute individual counseling sessions with a licensed counselor.
Online therapy can remove barriers to getting help, by providing:
|
Discreet Care |
Availability |
Diverse Counselor Network |
|
Teletherapy removes the stigma or fear of being “seen getting help” in an on-campus center |
Teletherapy is available during traditional hours as well as evenings and weekends as well as school breaks (e.g. winter break, summer) |
Teletherapy empowers students to select a counselor that matches their preferred demographics, identities, lived experiences, and specialties. |
SUNY Cobleskill’s partnership with BetterMynd also offers students access to Wellbeing Workshops. These workshops are scheduled (live) psychoeducational group workshops led by licensed counselors who educate and empower students on mental health topics such as:
Similar to how in person counseling sessions at the Wellness Center are covered under your student health fee, so are your sessions with BetterMynd through our partnership.
Once you are registered, you will be assigned credits for session attendance. As counseling services are highly requested and needed, please be mindful to cancel sessions at least 24 hours in advance of the scheduled time. When you cancel in advance, this provides your peers with an opportunity to access the newly available session time on BetterMynd. This also allows you time to reschedule to a more convenient session slot as well!
