Welcome to Concordia Counseling Services!

We are committed to promoting the personal growth and development of each student and to assisting students in coping with personal difficulties so they can best benefit from their experience at Concordia. This mission helps us to keep focused on the numerous strengths that students already possess, the natural changes that occur as a part of the college experience, and the life skills that must be learned and developed over time, as they pursue success in all areas of their lives during their time at the university.

Counseling provides a supportive and confidential environment for discussing personal concerns, gaining self-understanding, and developing those crucial life skills. Students come in to talk with counselors at Concordia Counseling Services for many different reasons. Some common reasons include managing stress and anxiety, feeling homesick, dealing with depression, improving relationships, discussing family problems, increasing self-confidence, improving body image, and coping with academic pressures and problems. Though these are common concerns that students bring in, each student who comes for counseling is regarded and respected as the unique individual that he or she is.
