Mental Health and Counseling Services
We have three counselors holding office hours on-campus during term time on Tuesday, and Thursday mornings.
Lori Alley: Tues, 9:30am - 12:30pm
Andrea Gabel-Richards: Thurs, 8:00 - 11:45am
Students are asked to go down to the Health Office in Seafox rm. 14 and sign up on the sheets posted outside the door. It is both important and respectful to then call the counselor you wish to see at their office (their numbers are posted on the sign-up sheets) to let them know you have taken a particular time. Students are expected to pay a $10 co-pay with each visit.
If a student feels they need counseling but cannot either make the scheduled on-campus times or afford the co-pay, they should feel free to contact Sarah Luke at x305. Any information or request will be treated with the utmost confidence.

AS AN FYI: students can also get testing for STDs, including HIV, for a reduced rate through our on-campus Nurse, Barbara Logue. For $35, students can get tested for gonnorrhea, chlamydia, and HIV. The deal is only available if you pay for it right there and then. (The cost, otherwise, is $192.) Please also be aware that, at present, your COA student health insurance doesn't cover proactive STD testing (but we are negotiating that for next year).

Down East Health Service
Christian Ridge Road, Ellsworth
Tel: 667-5304
This health service provides low cost medical services, family planning information and anonymous HIV antibody tests. The cost for the HIV antibody test is currently $25. Some assistance towards the cost may be available from D.E.A.N. if they have the funds, however a request for HIV testing cannot be denied due to lack of funds. The health center also does free HIV tests and STD screening for men and women who have been sexually assaulted. It is important to note that the HIV antibody test is anonymous, which means that no personal details are recorded. Young people are often very afraid to have these tests and they will need to be reassured that anonymity is guaranteed by the health center. The members of COA's AIDS team are also available to take people to the health center, no questions asked. Call Ander Thebaud to arrange the contact. It is illegal under Maine State Law to divulge the HIV status of any person.
