Comprehensive counseling and psychological services are available for Peabody
students at the Johns Hopkins University Counseling Center on the Homewood
campus. The Center is located on the second floor of 3003 North Charles Street.
In addition Dr. Garima Lamba, staff psychologist, is available to meet with
students at Peabody by appointment only. The mission of the Counseling Center is to
support and enhance the psychological and emotional well-being of the students
and, thereby, facilitate their ability to function successfully academically.
Counseling Center services include shortterm individual therapy, group therapy,
career counseling, substance abuse counseling, crisis intervention, theme
workshops (on topics such as test anxiety, stress management, and interpersonal
relationships), special student development and support programs such as programs
for international students, minority students, gay students, and graduate
students, and consultation on coping with student-life problems. Some typical concerns
that might lead a student to contact the Center include, but are not limited to,
problems adjusting to college life, feeling overwhelmed or having difficulty coping,
difficulties in interpersonal relationships, academic/performance anxiety, loneliness
or depression, and uncertainty about career choice.
All contacts at the Center are strictly confidential. No information is released,
on or off campus, without the student’s prior written authorization, except in those
rare circumstances where it is required by law (for example, life threatening conditions).
Students may make appointments for professional services in person or by
telephone. However, a professional staff member is on duty each day for immediate
assistance in case of an emergency.
Office hours are 8:30 am to 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday. For all after-hours
emergencies, you may reach an on-call staff member by calling Homewood
Campus Security at 410-516-7777. To obtain additional information about programs
and services, contact the Counseling Center at 410-516-8278.
