Counseling Services

The mission of Piedmont University Counseling Services is to provide quality services, training, education, and programs that foster the well-being of Piedmont University’s campus community.
College can be an exciting time, and sometimes, a difficult time. Counseling Services is here to help when life gets overwhelming. Piedmont University offers free counseling services to students who may need help with:

• Suicidal thoughts or self-harm
• Depression
• Anxiety and panic
• Relationship problems
• Trauma
• Identity issues
• Grief and loss
• Stress
• Adjusting to college life
• And much more

Individual counseling is provided in a safe, confidential atmosphere, and is designed to be short-term. If students require longer-term counseling, they may be referred to community resources (to which any cost would be the responsibility of the student).
