Services

Introduction

Counseling Services promotes the psychological health and well-being of the university community through preventive, developmental, and supportive services. Academic success is facilitated by psychological health. Counseling services are available to help students achieve this health and success. Counselors support students in their personal development by assisting them to better understand their thoughts, feelings, behavioral patterns, and explore ways to improve functioning. This contributes to greater wholeness, maturity, and enriched relationships with God, self, and others. Individual, couple, and group counseling are available. These services are confidential. We also offer a number of educational seminars and workshops throughout the year.
