counseling center

Mental health office

A counseling center is a facility offering mental health services, typically therapy and psychological support.

The term most often refers to offices on college campuses where students can access free or low-cost counseling: She made an appointment at the counseling center after her panic attack.

Community counseling centers serve the general public, often on a sliding-scale fee basis.
