The University of Lynchburg Counseling Center is ready to assist students with any mental health concerns. Each year, a significant number of students take advantage of our services to address emotional stressors that impact their day-to-day experience on campus. We’re a team of licensed mental health professionals, residents in counseling, and graduate counseling interns who provide quality mental health services. All treatment takes a holistic, solution-focused approach to healing and begins with individual therapy. Referrals for additional services (such as long-term therapy, group services, health services, academic services, specialized treatment, etc.) are made as needed.
Our staff works closely with campus partners to ensure students have access to all campus resources and are provided with comprehensive care. Counseling services are always confidential, and student counseling records are maintained separately from all other University records.
