Student Health + Wellbeing

Current Counseling and Wellness Resources Available for Students

Counseling and Wellness Services (CWS) can help with any mental health concerns you might experience, including stress, anxiety, alcohol or drugs, eating, depression, family issues, suicidal thoughts, and more. They offer individual counseling, group counseling, wellness workshops, referrals to long-term services in the community, and long-term psychiatric medication services on-site. Except for psychiatry services, all counseling services are provided at no cost.

No problem is too big or too small: Call, chat, make an appointment – or meet with a counselor in a same-day Urgent Counseling session.

Counseling appointments are available in person and virtually. If you need a private space for a CWS counseling session, they've got you covered!

Please do not visit in person without an appointment. If you need Urgent Counseling, please contact the NYU Wellness Exchange by phone at (212) 443-9999, via email at wellness.exchange@nyu.edu, or via the Wellness Exchange App.

Meet DR. Tiffany Llewellyn

A Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C) with a depth and range of experience in university settings, Dr. Llewellyn previously worked as a Clinical Social Worker and Coordinator of Services for First Generation/Limited Income students at John Hopkins University Counseling Center and as a Clinical Instructor at Yale University. In addition, she has extensive community mental health experience working with juvenile offenders, children and adolescents with severe psychiatric needs, low income communities, trauma survivors, emerging adolescents and medical social work. She also owns and operates a private practice where she serves a diverse population of clients. She earned her DSW from the University of Southern California, MSW from Hunter College, and BS in Social Work and AS in Liberal Arts with a minor in Psychology from Medgar Evers College.

“Foundational to my work,” said Dr. Llewellyn, “is a commitment and passion for racial and social justice, liberation of oppressed and marginalized populations, and advancing diversity and inclusion in all spaces. Equity in mental health is my non-negotiable, so my clinical style incorporates narrative therapy through an ecological, cross-cultural, interpersonal, and multicultural lens. It is necessary to add that treatment is person-centered and flexibility in approaches helps me meet the needs of clients."
