The practice of Professional Counseling is the application of mental health, psychological, or human development principles, through cognitive, affective, behavioral or systematic intervention strategies, that address wellness, personal growth, or career development, as well as pathology. Individual counseling and psychotherapy services are available, free of charge, to enrolled students and employees of PHSU. Professional counselors are available to discuss and help you discover your academic goals, plan your educational program, and develop a comprehensive academic plan. Academic Counseling is an opportunity to exchange information designed to help students reach their educational and career goals. If you’re experiencing academic challenges, you’re not alone.
