mission Enhance students’ lives through confidential, competent, and caring counseling capacities that strive to encourage and support students in their personal, emotional, social, academic, and career growth.

To achieve this, staff at times assumes the roles of therapist, consultant, facilitator, or educator. We are committed to meeting the needs of individuals from diverse backgrounds—including differences of culture, race, age, gender, physical and cognitive abilities, spirituality, and sexual orientation. We celebrate the unique strengths of every student as we work together to find opportunities for personal development.

goal Create a safe environment where students are free to explore their concerns as they adjust to the challenges of collegiate life. We respect the impact of all emotional, interpersonal, and situational challenges on student success, and acknowledge the college experience as a natural time for introspection, experimentation, and personal growth. Our practice philosophy focuses on relating to students in a developmental context, and aspires to build solutions and experiences unique to each individual.

The functions of Counseling Services support the Johnson & Wales institutional mission to empower its diverse student body for success in today's dynamic world.

staff Counseling Services is staffed by a professionally-certified master’s-level clinician. Additionally, the clinic staff within Health & Counseling Services work together to provide high-quality care for student needs. We welcome your feedback and requests.
