Welcome to the Counseling Center!

Clinicians provide short term personal and confidential counseling on both an individual and group basis and services are free to all matriculating, degree seeking students enrolled in 7 or more academic credits in their undergrad or graduate programs. Our clinicians do provide teletherapy for distance learners. Please note that SU students taking online courses may be limited in the type of direct services employed if they reside out of the state of Virginia due to state law licensure restrictions.

Students can address any number of concerns including life transitions, self-esteem, relationship conflicts, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, eating disorders, and self-harm. Our goal is to help students live effective, responsible, and satisfying lives. We value and respect the  privacy and diversity of each campus community member and endeavor to help them feel confident in making informed decisions which will enhance the quality of their lives.

A wellness philosophy serves as the foundation for all services and programs. Wellness helps students be more responsible for their lives and understand the factors that affect their well-being. Students are at a greater risk when they meet demands and challenges without informed and reflective decision-making. In order to help our campus community maintain a healthy balance in life and a success in academic, vocational, and personal goals, best practices in counseling, support, and referral services are available.
