Student Care and Counseling

Overview

Mental Health is an Important Issue

One that should be taken seriously.

As Christians, we consider it a privilege to bear one another’s burdens — emotionally and spiritually.

At Liberty, providing ways for you to develop self-care habits or coping skills for anxiety, depression, or addiction is not optional. It’s essential. Ensuring that you can easily access support services is just 1 of the ways we create a culture of caring.

You’ll have one dedicated peer leader* to every 5 students on your residence hall, and professional counseling services available through the Dean of Students office. Whether you need a shoulder to cry on or a seasoned counselor, you’ll find people ready to listen and support you.

*Peer leaders include Resident Assistants (RA), Resident Shepherds (RS), and Community Group Leaders (CGL).

Testimonials

Going through counseling gave me renewed peace, joy, and hope in my life. I struggled with a lot of anxiety and fear after going through natural disasters while living in South Asia. With counseling, I was able to work though traumatic events and memories in a safe and healthy way. I found freedom from the panic attacks, anxiety, and nightmares that used to invade my life.

— Student who received Liberty University’s Counseling Services,

Student Counseling Services creates an environment where you feel welcomed. I think there is already a stigma about counseling, and it was beneficial to me to know that it was normal; it made me feel safe.

— Student who received Liberty University’s Counseling Services,

My counselor is amazing, and I felt very comfortable meeting with her. She really understood my issues and helped me analyze how to fix them. She met me on my level and spoke my language. I can see a difference in myself in the last session from the very first session I attended. I am very happy and proud of what my counselor has helped me do.
