Student Counseling Services

"Let's Talk" is a program that provides easy access to free, informal, and confidential consultations with counselors from Cornell Health. Speaking with a counselor can help provide insight, solutions, and information about other resources. Counselors hold drop-in sessions via Zoom in the afternoons, Monday through Friday; the current schedule is posted here.

For more information about the Let's Talk program and other services available on campus, please refer to the Cornell Health webpage.
