Occasionally academic, personal, and social pressures can feel so overwhelming that it becomes hard to function as usual—we understand. Mount Mercy University Counseling Services is here to enhance your academic life and university experience.
No. We do provide additional support to individuals with existing mental health diagnoses, but our support services are very broad. Sometimes, students just need a neutral person to talk things through with, especially when they are away from home for the first time.
Student conversations with counselors are strictly confidential and the use of Counseling Services does not appear on student transcripts. Because of our confidentiality policy, information will not be shared (even with parents) without a proper signed release.
You do need an appointment. You can request an appointment by filling out this form. One of our staff members will contact you via email in a few business days to schedule an appointment. We also send students links to online forms, so that they can complete intake paperwork in the privacy and comfort of their own space.
Counseling is free of charge to enrolled Mount Mercy University students and no insurance information is utilized.
The office is led by the Director of Counseling Services who oversees graduate- and doctoral-level interns. Our interns have completed in-class training in counseling skills and applied clinical theories, and provide one-on-one counseling to students under the supervision of the Director of Counseling Services. We partner with the Olson Marriage & Family Therapy Clinic at Mount Mercy’s CRST International Graduate Center, and have utilized marriage and family therapy master’s students since January 2016.
