Solution Sessions

Left Nav


If you are experiencing a mental health crisis requiring immediate attention during regular business hours, call the Counseling Center for a same-day Solution Session. This same-day appointment is a brief, solution-focused meeting to assist with reducing distress and assessing your needs.

NOTE: Solution Sessions are not used in place of regular counseling. They are for crisis situations only.

Same-day Solution Sessions are available during regular business hours, Monday through Friday. They are approximately 30 minutes long. To schedule, call the Counseling Center at 706.236.2259 for a Solution Session.

WILL I SEE MY REGULAR COUNSELOR FOR SOLUTION SESSIONS?

The Counseling Center staff have designated times when they are available for Solution Session; it is not always possible that you will see your regular counselor.

CAN I SCHEDULE A SOLUTION SESSION IF I’M NOT A CURRENT CLIENT?

Absolutely! Solution Sessions are available to all Berry students. When you call the Counseling Center to schedule your Solution Session, you will be given instructions on the paperwork and forms that must be completed before you meet with a counselor.

WHAT DO I DO IF I AM EXPERIENCING A MENTAL HEALTH EMERGENCY AFTER HOURS?

If you are in a mental health crisis after hours and need to speak to a counselor immediately, Georgia Crisis & Access Line is available 24/7, including weekends and holidays. Call 800.715.4225 or download the MyGCAL app to text or chat with a GCAL crisis specialist. If this is an emergency: call Berry College Campus Police if you are on-campus (706.236.2262), call 911 if you are off-campus, or go to the nearest emergency room (Atrium Health Floyd Medical Center or Advent Health Redmond Medical Center if you are in the Rome area).
