What to Expect

Elon University students (who are currently enrolled in courses), faculty and staff may receive counseling services, and there is no cost. When you meet with your counselor, he or she will discuss your concerns and identify how Counseling Services may assist you.

If your needs may be better met by another agency or person, a referral to that source is recommended and facilitated by Counseling Services. Clients are responsible for fees when referred to off-campus resources.

The Counseling Services staff provides short-term individual counseling on multiple issues and concerns, including:

Self-esteem issues Depression
Anxiety Grief and loss
Stress management Family & relationship problems
Substance abuse/dependence Eating disorders
Sexuality Dealing with divorce
Lifestyle concerns Academic pressures


Sessions also may be conducted for couples, roommates and others experiencing interpersonal conflict. Counseling Services also offers Psychoeducational Workshops designed to enhance your personal and academic skills and teach more effective strategies for coping with problems.

From time to time, the staff provides opportunities for Group Counseling focused on a particular issue or concern. The focus in groups is to learn how to change thinking, feelings and behavior in order to feel better. Learning how to use your own strengths in daily situations in a supportive environment will help you to resolve problems.
