Counseling Center Mission Statement

The Mercyhurst College Counseling Center contributes to the mission of the college by offering a wide range of psychological counseling, outreach, and consulting services to members of the Mercyhurst community. As counseling psychologists, we are committed to the standards and ethics of our profession and endeavor to provide the best services possible to all who seek our assistance.

Our primary goal is to enhance the development of the whole person providing the support and facilitating the personal insights necessary for students to live fulfilling and productive lives. Mindful that young adulthood is a time of profound development and change, the Counseling Center strives to respond compassionately and professionally to the psychological, relational, emotional, and spiritual issues of students. The counseling process is aimed at helping students resolve personal difficulties and acquire the skills, attitudes, abilities, and self-knowledge that will enable them to take full advantage of the Mercyhurst experience.

We respect the dignity and worth of all students as maturing individuals with unique perspectives and contributions to make including those which reflect gender, race, creed, family and ethnic background, socioeconomic status, physical ability, and sexual orientation. We strive to create an atmosphere that is welcoming and comfortable for all students. We work cooperatively with faculty, administrators, parents, peers, and other health care professionals toward promoting the personal growth of students during their years at Mercyhurst.
