The St. Ambrose University Counseling Center provides individual (personal) and group counseling to students, faculty and staff. The center provides a confidential, supportive and collaborative environment for open discussion of personal issues. We work towards making positive changes to ones thoughts, feelings, relationships, behavior/life situation.

All of us, from time to time, experience difficulties in our daily lives. When these difficulties occur, they may become stumbling blocks that affect our relationships and/or prevent us from realizing our abilities, potentials, and goals.

The Counseling Center is staffed with licensed, professional counselors who can be of assistance as you attempt to sort out the issues facing you. The emphasis in counseling is not to provide pat answers or to make decisions for you. Rather, it is a cooperative effort that explores new insights or ways of thinking, alternatives and possible new directions. This effort is concluded in an atmosphere of mutual respect, equality and caring. Services include:

• Free, confidential counseling for students, faculty and staff
• Consultation for faculty and staff
• Individual, marital and family counseling
• Group counseling
• Consultation
• Substance abuse screening and referral
• Referral to appropriate medical, psychiatric or psychological services when needed
• Available to students for group interaction/interaction regarding areas of expressed concern
