We compassionately address student concerns with free individual and group counseling sessions, share valuable self-care tools and parent resources, and provide hands-on professional school training.

We’re staffed by licensed psychologists, licensed mental health practitioners, pre-doctoral psychology interns, and practicum students.

Meet the Student Counseling Services Staff

All students who are interested in meeting with Student Counseling Services will receive an initial appointment focused on discussing individual needs and determining the best way to address those needs. Students will be asked to complete some initial paperwork to allow for more time focused on needs and less time spent on background information.

Please call 402.280.2256 to set up your initial appointment.

Student Counseling Services is an outpatient mental health service dedicated to treatment of enrolled Creighton undergraduate, graduate, and professional students. Generally, Counseling Services can treat the emotional difficulties and mental disorders that can safely be managed within the structure of an outpatient service. There are certain mental health disorders that cannot be effectively treated within the structure and resources of Creighton’s Counseling Services. Students that cannot be treated effectively or safely within this structure of resources will be referred to mental health resources within the community (in Omaha or in the student’s home community). Situations that require referral include (but are not limited to) the following: symptoms of disorganized or disruptive psychoses and high suicidal potential requiring inpatient hospital treatment; serious eating disorders; serious substance abuse/addiction treatment; chronic emotional crisis requiring intensive treatment, frequent appointments or special supervision or behavioral management.

I was going through some incredibly trying times, and therapy helped me find a positive and safe outlet for my emotions. It gave me space to process everything going on and gave me the support I needed to finish my degree.
