Office of Counseling Services

�鶹��Ƶ University is committed to the development of the whole person, who under the sovereignty of God is a person of intellectual, spiritual, social, psychological, and physical dimensions. �鶹��Ƶ endeavors to approach students from these perspectives and to provide the atmosphere, opportunities, and resources for students to know wholeness within the context of a community of learners.

In addition to on-campus services, limited off-campus services are available through community service providers by referral of the Director for Counseling Services.

Counseling and Spiritual Direction services are available for no fee during the academic year to currently enrolled students. Counseling services are not provided during the summer months. Counseling services will resume beginning the first day of classes for the fall semester, which is Tuesday, August 18th.

Counseling Details

Our Mission

The goal of Counseling Services is to promote total student development by assisting students in realizing and attaining full potential. Particular emphasis is placed on opportunities which foster emotional, social and spiritual development.

Scope of Care

To meet as many student needs as possible, the Counseling Center offers a wide range of services including consultation, workshops, individual therapy and group therapy. Clinical services include initial intake assessment, brief individual counseling, group counseling, and referral to community resources where appropriate. If you currently see a professional for counseling in your hometown and can continue to see him/her, our recommendation is that you continue care with your current provider. If you are seeking specialized/intensive clinical services that require meeting with the same therapist beyond one semester or meeting more than once every other week, we recommend receiving care by a specialist in town.
