The Counseling Center will be closed from 8:00 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. to attend a retreat. 

Counseling Center

The Counseling Center Staff provides a safe, supportive environment where students can learn to live in health and harmony in community; and understand, explore and draw strength from their relationship with God. Staff members collaborate with and empower students as they develop new (inter)personal skills as they pursue their academic and personal goals.

Personal Counseling Services: Individual and group counseling services are available at No Cost for those experiencing emotional or interpersonal concerns. Many concerns are developmental. Others involve more serious difficulties. Some of the frequent students concerns addressed include:

Scheduling: We are not able to provide appointments on a demand/walk-in basis unless the situation involves a life threatening issue (threat of suicide, harm to others, or a child being abused). Except for peak periods, students can usually be scheduled within a week.

Psychiatric Consultation: Psychiatric consultation services are available through the Center and are provided by a local psychiatrist who comes to campus one-half day on a weekly basis. To be eligible for psychiatric services, the students must be evaluated by a Center staff member and continue in on-going counseling.

Fee: There is no charge for counseling. However, a missed appointment with a failure to cancel the appointment will result in a $10 charge to your student account.
