Referrals are currently being accepted by phone and may also be emailed to Lolita Hope at lchope@smcm.edu.

Counseling Services

Counseling services are offered in-person and virtually at the Wellness Center.  To make an appointment you may call 240-895-4289 or stop by to talk with our office associates.  We see students for short term therapy and also offer a variety of group therapy each semester.  If you require services beyond what we can offer we have a list of community referrals.

The Wellness Center has connected with ProtoCall, a toll free crisis hotline and available 24/7 by licensed professionals. To access ProtoCall Services, please dial 240-895-4200 or 855-826-1869 and you will be provided with immediate support, crisis intervention, and/or stabilization.
