Counseling
Apply »Counseling Mission
Our mission is to serve the NNU campus community by providing mental health counseling in a Christian context of love and acceptance regardless of who the person is, their lifestyle, or what they believe. Our goal is to help community members to pursue wholeness, healing, and growth within a safe environment. Our services are confidential. Therefore, if individuals are in violation of school lifestyle policy, penalties will not result from the counseling situation.
The Counseling Center is located at 518 E Dewey St. (across from Wiley Learning Center, next to the Alumni House).
Exceptions to Confidentiality: If it is believed that an individual may harm him/herself or someone else, or if there is current abuse of someone who is underage or elderly, or if required by a court of law to do so; then confidentiality would be compromised to protect those involved or to meet legal requirements.
