About the MCRL

The McClammy Counseling and Research Laboratory is an on-campus clinical training facility with individual and group counseling rooms. The McClammy Counseling and Research Laboratory offers free individual, couple and family counseling sessions, and on occasion, we also conduct group counseling programs.

The priorities of the McClammy Counseling and Research Laboratory are to:

  • provide supervised professional clinical training experiences to graduate students in the Counselor Education program at ECU
  • provide individual counseling, group counseling, consultation and outreach services to undergraduate students through the Counseling Practicum Collaborative
  • conduct research on the impact of services designed to promote students’ connections with campus community resources on retention, career development, student satisfaction with college experience and other factors.

With the exception of the summer break and between semester breaks, the McClammy Counseling and Research Laboratory operates weekdays and evenings throughout the year. Counseling sessions are usually 45-50 minutes in length.

Advanced graduate students from the Counselor Education program in the College of Education staff the McClammy Counseling and Research Laboratory. These counselor trainees have specialties in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, School Counseling, and Student Affairs and College Counseling.

All sessions are recording using audio or video recording devices, which allows for faculty members to monitor the sessions and provide supervision. A faculty member will provide your counselor (a graduate student) with consultation and suggestions in order to assure an efficient and effective counseling service is being provided to maximize the benefits of counseling.

The McClammy Counseling and Research Lab is a part of the Counseling Education program in the ECU College of Education’s Department of Interdisciplinary Professions.
