Two full-time licensed counselors from Greenwoods Counseling & Referrals are on campus every weekday for confidential support and prevention services through scheduled and drop-in sessions. Using practical, evidence-based approaches—including motivational interviewing and cognitive-behavioral strategies—counselors offer therapy and targeted interventions that help students build healthier coping skills and confidence. 

Counselors also work closely with parents, helping families stay aligned and supported when challenges arise. When appropriate, a consulting psychiatrist is available for medication consultation and management. 

Located at the center of campus, the Health Office provides a full range of on-site health services in a warm, confidential environment. Nursing staff support students’ daily health needs and administer medications when needed.

Every student is paired with a faculty advisor who meets with them twice a week and serves not only as a trusted guide but as a facilitator for their individual network of care. Beyond structured sessions and small advisory groups, students see their advisors at meals, in classrooms, the dorms, on weekends, and around campus. Knowing each student well, advisors play a central role in keeping families, faculty, counselors, and leadership informed and aligned. 

Advisors monitor academic and social-emotional progress, support goal-setting, help students navigate challenges, and even arrange group events and outings. From helping students manage their weekly schedule to planning major projects and arranging trips home, advisors are a constant source of support and connection. 

At Marvelwood, the Deans’ Office plays a proactive and collaborative role in student wellness, providing an additional layer of support. Our Deans aren’t feared—they’re advocates whose door is always open when students need guidance. When students stumble, our Deans help them get clear on the issue, understand boundaries, own their missteps, and put structures in place to move forward from a place of growth and accountability. 

Trained student leaders help shape dorms into places where everyone feels supported, respected, and at home. They help peers navigate conflict, offer steady guidance, and model what a healthy community looks like in action. As community builders, they also encourage dorm-specific group activities and events that promote camaraderie and connection.

Connections is a safe, judgment-free space where students build life skills, self-awareness, and belonging. Small-group sessions focus on social-emotional learning, communication, stress management, and exploring identity and purpose.

During Enrichment Saturdays, workshops, and special events, we support personal growth, community-building, and real-life readiness with topics that include healthy relationships, nutrition and cooking, mindfulness and stress management, digital literacy, global citizenship, and everyday life skills. These opportunities allow students to experience what they are learning firsthand and develop skills in a supportive community with trusted peers and adults. 

Students learn practices that bring body, mind, and spirit into balance. Through movement, breath work, and mindfulness, they develop tools to manage stress, deepen self-awareness, and cultivate a sense of calm that supports both academic and personal success.
