Columbia Psychological Services (CPS) supports the Columbia University community by providing counseling, consultation, and crisis interventions. The CPS Main Office is located on the 8th floor of Lerner. A similar service is Nightline, which can be contacted from 10pm-3am at 212-854-7777 in order to speak to a trained, non-judgmental peer listener who is capable of providing referrals.

Steps

  1. Regularly scheduled appointments can be made during the Main Office Clinical Hours, which are as follows:
    1. Monday through Thursday: 8:00am - 6:30pm
    2. Friday, 8:00am - 4:30 p.m.
  2. In order to make a regularly scheduled appointment, call (212) 854-2878. You will be provided with a phone appointment with a counselor, scheduled within 1 business day of your initial call. This phone appointment may lead to an in-person appointment, according to the urgency of your need.
  3. You should arrive 10 minutes early to your appointment to fill out necessary forms.
  4. You may also meet with a counselor during walk-in hours out of a variety of offices located in Residence Halls. The walk-in hours and locations are as follows:
    1. 100 Carman Hall
      Tuesday: 7:30pm - 9:00pm
      Thursday: 6:00pm - 9:00pm
    2. 210 East Campus

      Wednesday, 4:00pm - 8:00pm
      Friday, 1:30pm - 3:30pm
  5. If you have a psychiatric emergency outside of these available hours, you can either contact a clinician on call at (212) 854-9797, or visit your nearest emergency room.
