The counseling services provided by the NSU Office of Counseling and Career Services were designed to promote and enhance the quality of life for students and aid retention by offering prevention and early treatment or referral for developmental, emotional or interpersonal difficulties that arise during the educational process. Student Issues Students may feel anxious, angry, lonely or depressed when faced with normal developmental challenges and academic concerns.
Many students are concerned with their personal growth and adjustment to the college environment.
Seeking professional assistance is appropriate in aiding personal growth and adjustment and is a healthy response to solving problems that may arise during the college experience. There are many reasons why you may want to see a counselor. All currently enrolled full or part-time students are eligible for counseling services. Sometimes other people important in the student's life such as a partner, spouse, child or friend may be involved in the counseling process as well and do not have to be NSU students. Services are provided to employees of NSU after the counseling needs of the students have been met.
