Welcome, Mountaineers!
THE COUNSELING CENTER IS OPEN FOR COUNSELING APPOINTMENTS THE FIRST DAY OF FALL TERM, SEPTEMBER 22, 2025
Helping Students Heal, Grow and Reach their Goals!
Students come to the Counseling Center for a variety of reasons. Some are looking for help in coping with the pressures associated with a challenging academic environment or adjustment to college life. Others want to learn how to be more effective in developing, negotiating, or maintaining relationships with others. Counseling can be beneficial for students who are feeling depressed or anxious, as well as those who want to examine their beliefs or explore their current life situation.
The Counseling Center offers students the opportunity to look at themselves and their environment and to change the way they think, feel, and behave so that they can make the most of their time at E.O.U.
Our Counseling Center services are available to students who have been assessed the Health Service Fee. Students automatically assessed the fee include: Students taking at least 1 credit of an on-campus class, student athletes, and students in the Residence Hall.
Some students who have not automatically been assessed the Health Service Fee may “opt in” for a fee equal to the Health Service Fee for the current term. Please talk with the Student Health and Counseling Center front desk for more information.
EOU Counseling Center Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging Statement:
The Counseling Center staff care deeply about the well-being of E.O.U. students. We affirm the dignity, worth, and value of all individuals. We desire to create and hold space for students so they can explore, unpack and live out the very essence of who they are. To accomplish this, we commit to an ongoing process of learning that enables us to provide services that are sensitive to students’ diverse experience of themselves in their world. We humbly acknowledge the original inhabitants of the land Eastern Oregon University is upon: the Cayuse, Umatilla, Walla Walla, and Nez Perce people. We celebrate their traditions, languages, and stories. We acknowledge their continuing connection to this land, water, and community and pay our respects to these original stewards of Northeastern Oregon.
