Sarah Lawrence Health & Wellness Center provides compassionate, informative, and confidential care for students’ medical and psychological health concerns. Appointments are available to all registered students on the Bronxville Campus (UG and GR).
Medical Services
The staff includes nurse practitioners and registered nurses. Common needs treated by the medical staff include acute illnesses, minor injuries, and sexual health issues including birth control. Nurse practitioners write prescriptions to treat diagnosed illnesses and renew non-psychotropic prescriptions when appropriate.
Psychological Services
The staff includes licensed mental-health professionals with training and experience working with undergraduate and graduate students. Short-term individual sessions and ongoing group therapy options are available to all students at the College regardless of health insurance. Common student concerns treated by our staff include depression, anxiety, relationship and family issues, as well as other presenting concerns within the scope of practice of a college counseling center. Short-term medication management can be supported for some presenting mental health concerns. Long-term medication management needs are referred to local community providers.
In addition to on-site services, the Sarah Lawrence College Health & Wellness Center offers ConnectNow 1-833-589-0153 to all enrolled students for immediate, in-the-moment, emotional support, 24/7, at no cost to the student.
Case Manager
A Health & Wellness Case Manager is able to facilitate referrals for students who seek care off campus, who need support for long-term or chronic medical or psychological health issues, or who need care beyond the scope of practice of the Center.
Appointments
The Health & Wellness Center is located in Lyles House, near the Westlands Gate, at Mead Way and Boulder Trail.

No-Show/Late Arrival Policy
There is a $15 no-show fee for Medical and Psychological Services appointments. If you need to cancel your appointment, you must do so—via the online patient portal or by phone at 914.395.2350—by 9 p.m. the night prior to your scheduled appointment. If you do not cancel by 9 p.m. the night prior, or if you arrive more than 10 minutes late for your scheduled appointment, the $15 no-show fee will be charged directly to your student account.
Medical Absence From the College
Emergency contacts of students, as well as the dean of studies, will be notified when a student is separated from the College. Any illness that requires absence from the College should be reported immediately to the Health & Wellness Center. Students are responsible for notifying parents or guardians about any nonemergent personal health problems. Absence from class because of illness should be reported by the student directly to the professor; documentation is not provided by the Health & Wellness Center for missed classes.
