Counseling Services

The demands of law school can place stress on individuals, relationships, and work and academic performance. Mitchell Hamline School of Law provides counseling services, assessments, and referrals for students when appropriate. Discussions are confidential; the counselor will not report your use of the services to the law school unless specifically permitted by the student in writing. (State/Federal confidentiality-exemptions apply. For clarification, please ask your counselor.) Areas of conversation can be reflective of personal concerns as well as those of an academic nature. Students use Counseling Services for normal life concerns as well as feeling of crisis. The counselors are experienced and licensed professionals, not otherwise connected with the law school.

Cost

Initial consultations are always free. Mitchell Hamline is currently waiving any copay for counseling services until further notice. During this time, counseling expenses will be covered by Mitchell Hamline School of Law.

Counseling Services is designed to provide short term counseling. If longer-term services are required, your MHSL counselor will refer you to providers in the community for ongoing care.

Hours of Operation

Counseling is available a variety of days and times.  If you would like to speak to a counselor, you may schedule by clicking the Make an appointment button. If the counseling times offered are not workable for you, please email [email protected] for possible alternatives.

For students outside of Minnesota: different states may have different laws regarding tele-counseling across state boundaries. When you speak to your counselor, please inform them where you are located so such laws can be confirmed.  If your state does not permit out-of-state tele-counseling, your counselor can discuss options for referrals.
