Attending Loyola University New Orleans
is a very challenging and important endeavor. You are
faced with a large number of decisions and possibilities affecting your
personal, social, and academic choices; the challenge of dealing with
these decisions can be, at once, both exciting and anxiety producing.
At different points in each of our lives, we may turn to others for
guidance and support.
The University Counseling Center exists to assist you in meeting the varied challenges of community life at Loyola.
Confidentiality is the cornerstone of the counseling process because it is sometimes difficult or awkward to share personal feelings or sensitive issues with another person. The Counseling Center eases the process by ensuring that whatever is shared during a counseling session remains confidential.
Counseling records are independent of all university records, and information is released only with the express written consent of the student. The mere fact that a student may seek counseling is also confidential. Exceptions to confidentiality are extremely rare, e.g., a life may be in danger.
Services provided by the center are free to all Loyola students. The center staff is also available to meet with faculty and staff for consultation and referral information.
Appointments may be made with the administrative assistant in the University Counseling Center in Room 208 of the Danna Student Center or by calling 865-3835.
