Faculty and staff on the Law Center campus and Georgetown University's main campus offer a wide range of experience and professional creditials in counseling which can help with a broad range of issues. Our professional, medical, and campus ministry staffs are available to discuss individual student concerns. Services are intended to help students recognize and deal effectively with academic, personal, interpersonal, and career difficulties. Counseling from our campus ministry office is available without regard to a student’s faith, and medical evaluations are provided for individuals whose concerns include health-related issues. If you feel you need help, or simply want to talk with an understanding counselor about areas that concern you, the skilled professional staff will provide you with responsive, confidential service. Initial consultations at the Counseling Center are without charge. No record of any counseling service is retained in a student ’s academic records. Counseling and Psychiatric Service (CAPS) The Law Center has three professional counselors on campus. Appointments are made through Mr. Patrick Lillis, Intake Coordinator, at 202-687-6985. Day and evening hours are available in the Counseling Office, room L 102-G in the Gewirz Student Center, adjacent to Student Health Services, or on the main Campus, 1 Darnall Hall, next to the Medical Center. In the event of an emergency in the evening or on the weekends, call (202) 444-PAGE (444-7243). Ask to speak with the CAPS/Counseling Center doctor-on call.
