Welcome to the Counseling Center at DigiPen! This page provides you with a brief overview of the student services we offer.

Immediate Crises

If you have an immediate crisis, please call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. You can also contact the Crisis Line (Crisis Clinic of Seattle) toll free 24 hours a day at (866) 4-CRISIS or (866) 427-4747.

If you are experiencing an emotional crisis or suicidal thoughts, text or dial 988 to contact a crisis worker at any hour on any day. More information can be found at the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline page.

The Counseling Center is located in the Administration Offices area on the second floor. To make an appointment, or for questions about Counseling Center services and policies, contact the Counseling Center at counseling@digipen.edu or (425) 629-4859.

The counseling center is open during fall, spring, and summer semesters and closed during breaks. Appointments can be made Monday through Friday.

Forms

Note: The Counseling Center is not the best resource for all problems and situations. We provide services in keeping with DigiPen’s goals (student academic success), within our business hours, and in keeping with the structure of the Counseling Center. The Counseling Center does not provide services for those needing long-term intensive psychological treatment, substance-abuse treatment, 24-hour-on-call availability, or whose treatment has been mandated by the legal system or an employer. In these instances we will make appropriate referrals.

  • Short-Term Individual Counseling

    DigiPen’s on-campus Counseling Center offers free short-term, one-on-one counseling for all students. Students are allotted 12 sessions per academic year, with a limit of 6 per semester. You can talk to counselors about a variety of common concerns including stress management, depression, anxiety, homesickness, and many others.

  • Online Mental Health Screening

    Mental health conditions, such as depression or anxiety, are real, common, and treatable. Through Mental Health America’s online screening, you can help determine whether you are experiencing symptoms of a mental health condition. Online screening tools offer a quick snapshot of your mental health and offer guidance on next steps and available options.

  • Off-Campus Resources

    If you would like to seek advice or resources outside of the Counseling Center, we’ve put together a short list of local and national off-campus resources to help you start your search for more information.
