Scope of Practice
Le Moyne College Counseling Center offers a flexible integrated model in order to meet students where they are at and offer the most appropriate level of care. Like most college counseling centers, we focus on short-term intervention modeled around the college calendar. We provide mental health services within the limits of our expertise to help students with a wide range of issues. Students presenting with a concern that requires services not available at the Counseling Center will be referred to off campus resources for more specialized treatment during a single session appointment.

The Wellness Center for Health and Counseling does not provide documentation for emotional support animals, medical housing or academic accommodations. The reason being is that the Wellness Center does not provide diagnosis, testing, assessment, or verification of the need for psychological/academic/physical accommodations that is required by Le Moyne College. Therefore, we legally can’t provide the appropriate documentation that a student would be required to submit. The necessary paperwork will need to come from an outside provider such as a primary care physician, therapist or psychologist. Our staff can provide a list of community referrals to further assist with a student’s particular request for accommodations.
