Counseling
The Kings College acknowledges that life’s demands sometimes stretch us beyond our limits. We all feel sad, uncertain or hurt at various times in our lives. The college years are often difficult to navigate on our own. To ensure that you have the support you need, we offer the following resources:

1. Redeemer Counseling Services

Because of our New York City location, we have access to first-rate counseling services. Redeemer has professionally trained Christian counselors who provide specialized care for a host of issues, as well as conduct various seminars. As a King's student, you are able to take advantage of these services for $40.00 per session (1/3 of the typical hourly rate).

To set up an appointment, you can do one of the following:

1. Go online to www.redeemer.com/care/counseling and click on the “getting started” link. Specify that you are a King’s College Student to ensure that you receive the discounted rate. A counselor will follow up with you directly to set up an appointment.
2. Stop by Student Services to pick up a counseling request form. After filling it out, turn it in to Student Services or any Student Development Staff, and they will submit your request to Redeemer. A counselor will follow up with you to set up an appointment.

Redeemer Counseling Services are located within walking distance from the College:

1359 Broadway (between 36th and 37th St.)
New York, NY 10118
212 370-0475 x131

Brochures for Redeemer Counseling Services available at Student Services counter.

2. Student Development Coaching
If you need to talk to someone, but do not wish to pursue counseling at this time, we encourage you to set up a meeting with a Student Development Staff member. Depression, eating disorders, anxiety, family issues, grief/loss, sexuality, past experiences, spiritual doubts, adjustment to college, self injury, pornography, and gambling are all issues that may eventually need professional counseling, but can be initially addressed by Student Development Staff. Do not allow guilt or shame to rob you of joy. We are eager to listen and to provide suggestions for growth and healing.

To set up an appointment, you can do one of the following:

1. Go to the following link and submit a coaching request form. You may request a specific staff member, though it is not necessary to do so. Someone will get back to you within 2 days of your request to set up an appointment.
2. Stop by Student Services to fill out a coaching request form. After you turn it in, a staff member will follow up with you to set up an appointment.
3. If you know a Student Development Staff, you can speak to them about setting up an appointment.
