NSU COUNSELING CENTER

Removing Barriers to Learning and Life

"60% of college students are sleep deprived, and 30% of them fall asleep in class at least once a week!"*

The staff of professionally trained counselors are specialists in the concerns, problems, and issues of college students.  Whether you are adjusting to college for the first time, experiencing "sophomore slumps", or are an older returning student balancing school, work and a family, you will find the staff able to help with the challenges you are facing.  The Center staff has extensive experience in working with students who have concerns with:

• Increasing self-understanding

• Improving confidence and self-esteem

• Creating healthy relationships

• Coping more effectively with stress

• Healing the effects of sexual, physical, digital or emotional abuse

• Exploring sexual orientation in a safe environment

• Resolving conflicts

• Learning about addiction and self-destructive behaviors

• Overcoming feelings of depression and anxiety

• Coping with an eating disorder

• Coping with grief and loss

• Dealing with loneliness and isolation

• Homesickness

The NSU Counseling Center views college as part of the journey towards personal growth and development. At times, this journey may call for guidance and support. The NSU Counseling Center offers individual and group gounseling, as well as substance abuse prevention, education and early intervention to assist in this journey.

Our services are free and confidential to NSU students and their families.
