Barnard College Barnard College
Welcome To

The Rosemary Furman Counseling Center

The Furman Counseling Center promotes the social and emotional development of Barnard students to facilitate their richest experience of College Life. We offer free therapy, groups, workshops and medication to assist students in maintaining emotional and mental health. We support the College’s commitment to diversity, raising awareness of systems of oppression and unequal access to resources, and work to promote social justice.

Health Care setting still requires masking. Because psychotherapy with masks is difficult and limited, we will continue to  provide mostly tele therapy sessions.  However, in –person sessions will be available, in consultation with the therapists.
