Counseling Services

There are times when the stresses of a personal, family, or social situation impact your ability to function academically and/or personally. Counseling Services encourages students to feel empowered and comfortable in reaching out for help. A team of qualified mental health professionals, counseling services staff incorporate a philosophy of wellness in which each person becomes more aware of who they are and makes choices toward positive change. Students who participate in Woodbury’s confidential Counseling Services can benefit significantly from our evidence-based, solution-focused, cognitive behavioral therapy approach. No problem is too big or small to reach out for help!
