Clinical Counseling Services

Clinical Services exists to provide professional and mental services to help students reach their full potential emotionally, academically, socially, and spiritually.

How Can We Help?

Bethel University’s Clinical Services provides short-term/brief and long-term supportive individual counseling, free of charge, for currently enrolled undergraduate and graduate students. Group counseling may also be provided according to students’ needs.

What is Counseling?

Counseling is a unique, confidential, and collaborative relationship between a counselor and a person seeking help. Although you may handle many things on your own, sometimes a little outside help, or a different and more objective point of view, can help you with putting your problems in perspective and handling them more effectively.

What is Provided?

Services are provided by licensed professionals. Clinical Services is designed to assist students with a number of concerns and to enhance their ability to be more effective and successful in their academic and personal lives.
