MICA's Counseling Center offers the following free services: individual, group, family and couples counseling, stress reduction through meditation, guided imagery, exercise and nutrition.  Our counselors are highly trained and experienced and are able to work with students who are suffering from adjustment disorders, clinical depression, anxiety, eating disorders, bi-polar disorder, drug and alcohol problems as well as dealing with all types of crisis intervention such as sexual assault, suicide, bereavement and accidents.  We also have a list of psychiatrists, psychologists and social workers in private practice in the Baltimore community if a student would like to be referred off-campus or requires more in-depth counseling than we are able to provide.

The Counseling Center staff also serve as a liaison to Mt. Royal Medical Associates, the College's designated health services location.

How and when to refer a student to counseling:

If you know a student who could benefit from counseling (but it is not an emergency), please know that MICA:

  • Has one full-time and two part-time counselors on staff - Patricia Farrell, MSW, LCSW-C, Director and Licensed Psychotherapist, Joseph Kachik, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist and Counselor, and Jeff Klug, MA, CAS, LCPC, Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor.
  • The service is free.
  • To make an appointment, call (410) 225-2367.
  • The Counseling Center is in offices 250 - 254 on the 2nd floor of Bunting Center.  During the academic year the Counseling Center is open 9:00 am to 7:00 pm (M/Tu/W) and 8:30 am to 4:30 pm (Th/F).
  • It is best if the person needing counseling makes the call him or herself.  By taking the initiative the person is taking the first step to increased feelings of well being and health.

How to get help if a student is in immediate danger of hurting self/other:

If a student is in immediate danger of hurting him/herself or others, reports feeling severe depression or hearing voices or seeing things that others do not see:

  • Dial 911 and request immediate assistance.
  • If the student lives on campus, you may call Campus Safety on its 24 hour emergency line at (443) 423-3333 for further assistance.
