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.

Common Concerns

College is a time of great personal growth. Students often encounter a number of concerns during the course of the academic experiences, such as:

  • Anxiety and Stress
  • Relationship Conflict
  • Depression
  • Feelings of Isolation or Loneliness
  • Alcohol or Substance Use or Abuse
  • Eating Disorders
  • Abuse or Trauma
  • Adjustment to College
  • Academic Difficulties
  • Grief and Loss
  • Anger
  • Suicidal Thoughts

Alcohol & Drug
