Initial Counseling Information

Sometimes when a person is stressed or upset, it can feel difficult to wait for your next appointment time. In some cases, your therapist may be able to schedule an earlier appointment. But, there are some things you can do to manage during those times until a stressor passes, or until you can speak with your therapist. Find out more

OUR SERVICES

We offer a variety of services at the Counseling Center.  This page offers a brief summary of where to find information about our various services, as well as links to specific pages within our website

OUR APPROACH

The Counseling Center, as part of the Student Life Division, provides students with several services designed to assist their holistic development.  Profession, caring staff help students apply the self-reflection skills learned within the counseling process, to their day-to-day lives in the classroom and as part of the larger P.L.U. community.  Students are encouraged to learn self-care skills that can assist them in their academic and interpersonal development.  Students are both supported and challenged to grow both interpersonally and academically.
