Welcome NAU Students:
Whether you are working on your college or graduate degree, I bet you have many things to juggle to get through school. The Counseling Center (CC; diagonally across from Cline Library) might be able to help you with this juggling.
Yes, the "student life" has many benefits, but it can also be physically and emotionally challenging. Some students enter NAU already knowing that counseling can be helpful, others may discover this along the way.
The CC works with students to address the psychological challenges they may experience. Our counselors regularly work with depression and anxiety, relationship difficulties, eating and body image concerns, traumatic experiences, and adjustment issues, to name a few. Students can call to schedule an initial appointment with one of our counselors. In this free confidential "consultation," difficulties may be more clearly defined, feelings validated, and resources for assistance identified. As a result of this meeting, other specialized services might be recommended - some of which the CC offers (see Eligibility and Costs), others may be elsewhere on campus or in the community. About 1,100 students used our services in this way last year and many found just one meeting extremely helpful!
If we can help, please give us a call.
Wishing you a balanced and enjoyable experience at NAU,
Chris Gunn, Ph.D.
