Welcome to the VSU Counseling Center!

Our office focuses on short-term, solution-focused therapy, in order for our staff to accommodate high demand for counseling services. As a result, we will limit each student to a total of six personal counseling sessions per semester. If a student requires more intensive services to meet their needs, we will assist with connecting the student to community-based providers.

The VSU Counseling Center acts as a holistic resource to the campus and community, empowering individuals for success in academic, professional, and personal pursuits. Each of our counselors are professionally trained and licensed and all have a genuine passion for working with college students.

All students are reminded that the Counseling Center maintains 24/7 mental health emergency access. If you are experiencing a mental health emergency, please contact one of the following:

-Call the Counseling Center (229) 333-5940 at any time. Counseling Center staff will be available during regular office hours, 8am-5:30pm M-Th and 8am-3pm Friday. At all other times, phone calls will be automatically forwarded to our Navigator Support Line (833) 910-3365 for emergency services and any other concerns. The Navigator Support Line is available 24/7 to assist VSU students and provide mental health support resources.
