Counseling Center
Welcome to the Counseling Center
Approximately 40% of Lafayette students seek counseling during their college experience. Our counselors help students identify academic, social, and personal goals and strengthen coping strategies when they experience emotional distress or trauma. Counseling provides students with opportunities to gain support, generate new perspectives, try out new behaviors and attitudes, and develop greater self-understanding. Our counselors are committed to supporting all students and recognize that emotional well-being is vital to student success both inside and outside of the classroom.
