Counseling Services

Counseling Services’ mission is to enhance and promote the quality of life of Maine Maritime Academy students and aid in their retention. These services are facilitated through the provision of professional and timely treatment and referral for emotional, interpersonal, and substance abuse-related difficulties that may occur during their educational tenure at MMA.

Counseling services offer students a range of services which include individual counseling, substance abuse education/ counseling, crisis intervention, and community referrals when appropriate. Consultation to faculty, staff, and students is also available.

Some of the reasons students typically come in for counseling include:

• Relationship difficulty
• Loneliness
• Depression/anxiety
• Eating/sleeping problems
• Feeling stressed and/or overwhelmed
• Concerns about the use of alcohol or drugs
• Anger management issues
• Time management issues

Services are completely confidential and provided at no cost to our students.
