The goal of Counseling Services is to assist students in addressing mental health concerns in a professional, unbiased, objective way. To that end, Counseling Services offers problem assessment, short-term individual and group counseling, career testing and counseling, and, when warranted and/or desired by the student, referrals for ongoing, longer-term or specialized treatment for currently-enrolled LSU New Orleans students.
