The collegiate experience is one of new development and substantial growth for students. New choices, challenges, and decisions abound and while it can be stimulating and exiting, it can also be a time of adjustment, stress, and confusion.

Lubbock Christian University is committed to providing counseling assistance for those students who may be struggling with academic pressures, family conflicts, relationship difficulties, career indecision, spiritual struggles, substance abuse and so forth. These struggles sometimes manifest themselves outwardly through emotional outburst, substantial weight gain or loss, depression, anxiety, and irregular sleep patterns. Few students move through this time without some personal commotion and the university encourages all students experiencing discomfort in the adjustments of college life to utilize the services of the Counseling Center.

Students seeking counseling services are offered limited personal counseling visits each semester free of charge, and may also participate in other opportunities for personal growth provided by the Counseling Center. The staff of the Counseling Center may suggest or make referrals for circumstances that require intensive, long-term care. The student will be financially responsible for any outside help, referred or otherwise. The director of the Counseling Center is a licensed professional counselor who adheres to the ethical standards of the profession. All counselors follow the strictest standards in regards to confidentiality and privacy, and measures are taken to protect all confidential counseling records.

The Counseling Center is located in the west wing of the Behavioral Sciences Building across from the cafeteria. For more information, please email Cathy Noble at cathy.noble@lcu.edu or call (806) 720-7478.

Please note: Due to ethical standards, the Department of Behavioral Sciences does not conduct private student counseling and is in no way affiliated with the Counseling Center.
