For Students

We offer primarily short-term individual, couples, and group therapy. Our staff consists of licensed mental health clinicians and doctoral practicum clinicians who are supervised by our licensed staff. 

Please note: Students can request to schedule with a therapist of color or other identity, though scheduling options may be more limited or delayed and not all options requested may be available.

We hope to serve as many students as possible and are a good resource for students needing short-term or intermittent counseling support during the academic year. We typically meet with a student for ten or fewer sessions over the course of an academic year. If you want to meet with the same counselor regularly throughout your years at LC, we can help you find the off campus resources you need —or you can also get support for referrals through the Office of Student Accessibility.

Please be aware that while service animals are welcome in our clinics, other animals are not allowed. This stance was adopted out of concern for students and staff with allergies.

How to Access Our Services

---

Are services confidential?

We take confidentiality seriously and follow APA (American Psychological Association) ethical guidelines on confidentiality. All our clinical services are confidential, with a few exceptions permitted or required by law. Every student who comes into the Counseling Center receives a copy of the exceptions to confidentiality before the first meeting with a counselor. In fact, you can check out all the confidentiality rules and exceptions on our confidentiality page.

Concerned about a friend?

If you are concerned about a member of our community who is having problems, we offer confidential consultation about how you can help.
