Counseling

Student Well-being

The New York School of Interior Design offers free counseling to all students.  Therapy is provided by an independent New York State licensed psychologist who is on campus Tuesdays and Fridays.  All interactions are confidential, meaning that the discussions between the student and the psychologist are private and are not revealed to anyone without the student’s consent. Counseling is not part of a student’s academic record.

The psychologist will see any student in the NYSID community for one session to provide information, consultation, and/or referral. When indicated, students are offered short term counseling for a variety of concerns including depression, anxiety, insomnia, relationship problems, homesickness, grief, academic issues, health problems, or stress due to difficult school/life experiences. Some concerns can be addressed in a few sessions while others may require additional time and effort.  In all cases, the psychologist will do her best to help or to assist in finding help, should a referral be appropriate.
