Individual Counseling
How to Make an Appointment
Appointments can be scheduled by calling 504-865-3835 or visiting the Center, located on the second floor of the Danna Student Center Monday - Friday: 8:30am - 4:45pm.
Individual Counseling
All currently enrolled Loyola University students are entitled to use the counseling services offered by the Center free of charge. The focus of our counseling work with students is based on a short-term, developmental model which emphasizes emotional growth through dealing with difficult life issues while also helping the students to maintain a necessary focus on academic performance.
Psychological Testing
We use psychological assessment to assist the student and us in understanding how their interpersonal style and ways of viewing their world shape their behavior. At times, students may feel they are in a crisis situation and require evaluation for medication, or in extreme emergencies, hospitalization. We are fortunate to have the services of our Consultant Psychiatrist at these times and to have excellent community resources to deal with these crises. In addition, staff psychologists conduct ADHD and ADD Assessments, and Substance Abuse Evaluations.
Confidentiality
Any and all information that students share with us remains confidential with the very limited exceptions, e.g. when they represent a clear and present danger to themselves or others. Confidentiality is a basic requirement of trust in counseling and necessary to ensure it's success. Our files are separate and are not shared with any other office or personnel within the University. This confidentiality is safeguarded by our professional codes of conduct and by law. University officials are both cognizant of this requirement and strict regarding our compliance.
Emergencies
During Regular Office Hours: Call 504-865-3835 or come by the office.
Outside Office Hours: Call the University Police (504-865-3434) and ask them to page the counselor on-call. You do not have to give your name. A professional staff member is on-call at all times.
