Counseling & Consultation Center Mission Statement

In order to become responsible world citizens and create a more compassionate society, we facilitate the growth and development of those we serve and ourselves by helping to find, articulate, and cherish the uniqueness of each voice.

We strive to enhance the quality of life for students during their collegiate years, as well as for the duration of their lives. We are deeply committed to the development of the whole person: academically, personally, spiritually, socially and physically. We specifically focus our activities toward those aspects of the St. Edward's University Mission Statement that address:

• Understanding one's own self,
• Developing skills for independent and productive living,
• Deepening spiritual, moral, and ethical values,
• Incorporating learning as a life-long process,
• Growing through participation in student life programs,
• Respecting the diverse backgrounds and characteristics of all persons,
• Accepting the responsibilities that accompany participation in interpersonal relationships, the university, and the communities in which we live.

To this end, the Counseling and Consultation Center provides a variety of counseling, consultation, educational and mental health services to currently enrolled students at St. Edward's University, including both The Undergraduate College and The College of Professional and Graduate Studies. Our goal is to help create a healthy and supportive environment for student success.
