We offer primarily short-term individual, couples, and group therapy. Our staff consists of licensed mental health clinicians and doctoral practicum clinicians who are supervised by our licensed staff. We hope to serve as many students as possible and are a good resource for students needing short-term or intermittent counseling support during the academic year. We typically meet with a student for ten or fewer sessions over the course of an academic year. If you want to meet with the same counselor regularly throughout your years at LC, we can help you find the off campus resources you need —or you can also get support for referrals through the Office of Student Accessibility.

The Center for Spiritual Life serves students, staff, and faculty at all three campuses: CAS, Grad, and Law. The richness of our conversations and the depth of our connections come from this cross-pollination among spaces that otherwise may not find one another. Whatever your background or journey, we seek to support your life at Lewis & Clark as one that is meaningful.
