Our Counseling Center
Our Staff
The Counseling Center staff strive to be a transformative presence in the lives of our students, as well as with training our interns.
We are a multidisciplinary staff, including 16+ clinically trained professionals, including psychologists / postdoc fellows, Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSW), Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFT), and Licensed Professional Counselors (LPC).
Our staff have also received extensive trainings in many focused areas that include trauma and sexual assault, drug and alcohol concerns, other addictive behaviors, dialectical behavior therapy, eating disorders, crisis intervention and many more.
We are highly invested in our role as a training facility. In addition to our internship, we have had a strong psychology doctoral practicum program for several decades. We also have social work and masters in counseling interns most years.
Our Locations
The Baylor Counseling Center is housed in 2 locations on campus.
Our original site is called “Baylor Counseling Center – SLC”. It is located on the 2nd floor of the McLane Student Life Center (SLC), adjacent to the Health Center and the Wellness Office. This central location on campus, being surrounded by recreational equipment and activities and being next to the Health Center, has been a positive experience for us and how students may think about mental health. The close proximity with the Student Health Center facilitates the referral process between medical staff, psychiatry, and counselors. This part of the Counseling Center completed renovations in January 2016, resulting in a more efficient use of space, more offices, and a more efficient waiting area. We have a conference room, where staff meetings and committee meetings can be held, that also serves as a group therapy room. We share a small kitchenette with the nearby Student Health Center. All areas are accessible to students/staff with disabilities.
The primary office location for interns is called “Baylor Counseling Center – Dutton”. It is located on the corner of Dutton Street and University Parks, adjacent to both student housing and the Truett Seminary, and across the street from the Law School. This space was specifically renovated for our counseling center needs and was completed in January 2017. It is the larger of the 2 facilities and houses a large waiting area, a large conference/meeting room, 2 other meeting rooms for group therapy and providing trainings, a room for our Mind/Body Lab, a large break room, and many clinician offices to accommodate all of our staff.
All of the interns will have offices at the Counseling Center – Dutton location, near the Training Director’s office.
