HELPING STUDENTS HEAL, GROW AND REACH THEIR GOALS!
Students come to the Counseling Center for a variety of reasons:
- Coping with the pressures associated with a challenging academic environment
- Adjusting to college life
- Learning how to be more effective in developing, negotiating, or maintaining relationships with others
- Facing grief, loss, or trauma
- Feeling depressed or anxious (or other mental health struggles)
- Physical, emotional, and/or sexual abuse
- Wanting to examine their beliefs or explore their current life situation
We combine the latest neuroscience research with the art of attunement, knowing that change is possible. Our hope is that you will find the Counseling Center as the safe and confidential* space you need to process the different aspects of your experiences and how it is affecting you today.

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.
