Counseling Services

The mission of the Office of Counseling Services is to provide a professional and confidential setting for the psychological, emotional, spiritual, and developmental support in a Christian atmosphere, of a diverse body of students as they pursue academic goals and explore personal growth.

College students face many obstacles and difficulties. Sometimes these obstacles can become quite overwhelming. Talking with a counselor can help these struggles seem less stressful and can help resolve personal issues. The Office of Counseling Services provides confidential counseling in a caring atmosphere to assist students in dealing with their innermost needs. Sometimes a one-time consultation may be enough to get students started in a helpful direction. Sometimes more intense services are necessary. By providing assessments, individual counseling, group counseling, and referral services, students will have the opportunities to develop into more confident, mature individuals who can achieve academic and personal success.

Currently, we are providing services both in-person and via telehealth to Harrodsburg and Campbellsville students. All satellite locations for Campbellsville University students are provided telehealth services. To determine how we can best support you, the initial session will be to determine the needs of the students. During counseling sessions, we will help you to work on specific treatment goals such as managing depression/anxiety, improving mood, improving interpersonal relationships, or managing stress. While we are able to address most mental health concerns, some may require a more specialized or intensive service that we will assist you in connecting to these resources within the community to support you with those needs.
