Individual Wellness Coaching

What to Expect: 

  • You will meet one-on-one with an extensively trained volunteer Wellness Coach, who is an undergraduate or graduate student at Ohio State. Sessions can occur both in-person in PAES 445 or virtually via CarmenZoom.

  • All sessions last 45 minutes. Your Coach will provide an encouraging and nonjudgemental space to explore your coaching needs. They will ask questions to get to know you and then help identify goals using the Ten Dimensions of Wellness and other tools.

  • Intake (first) sessions require the completion of the Wellness Assessment. This 10 minute in-depth survey is designed to measure the Ten Dimensions of Wellness in order to give students a better understanding of their own wellness and to provide them with resources that they can utilize at Ohio State to improve their wellness.

  • Ongoing sessions are available as long as they are not scheduled more than once per week. If you think you'd like to seek ongoing, consistent treatment for a mental health concern, please contact Counseling and Consultation Service (CCS) at 614-292-5766, or explore their website at ccs.osu.edu.

Wellness Coaching services are located in the Physical Activity and Education Services (PAES) Building, Suite 445, attached to the RPAC by the Scarlet Skyway.

  • "Very helpful, very informative. I feel better than I did when I walked in the door."
