In an attempt to provide additional options for student support, Binghamton University is offering students a way to maintain progress in psychotherapy, psychiatry or other health and medical provider services while away from home. Student living situations sometimes don't provide a calm and private environment needed to communicate with providers from a distance. Health and Counseling Services at Binghamton University are pleased to offer students a quiet and confidential place to participate in tele sessions with their home provider.
