University Counseling Center

Welcome Message from the Director and Staff of the Southeastern Louisiana University Counseling Center

Welcome to the University Counseling Center (UCC) at Southeastern Louisiana University. We provide free mental health counseling services to students, faculty, staff, and their legal families. Staffed by four licensed mental health professionals, the UCC offers individual counseling, group counseling, couples counseling, and family counseling as well as workshops and consultation. The University Counseling Center is accredited by IACS, the International Association of Counseling Services.

Our goal is to facilitate self-understanding and empowerment for all clients. To this end, we strive to assist clients in identifying and then resolving those challenges that impact their lives.

We believe that counseling can help individuals learn about themselves, their environment, and their methods of handling roles and relationships. Through counseling, clients will have the support of a counselor as well as the freedom and the opportunity to determine how they wish to resolve the challenges facing them.

Counseling is confidential.  However, we are legally bound to report potential suicide, homicide and suspected child/elder abuse. The staff adheres to the American Counseling Association's ethical guidelines (www.counseling.org).

The University Counseling Center does not provide counseling through email or other electronic means.

Our Mission Statement

The mission of the University Counseling Center is to enhance lifelong learning by meeting the mental health needs of the students, staff, and faculty who seek out services. In addition, the UCC strives to provide a state of the art training facility for graduate students in the human services field.
