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:
