Personal Counseling
The Career & Counseling Center offers a wide range of short-term educational and psychological counseling services for students that address personal development, mental health, cultural issues, life planning, stress management, and the achievement of educational goals.
Eligibility
All currently registered full-time and part-time NWU students living on or off campus.
Mental Health Screening
It can be hard to ask questions about your mental wellbeing. That’s why Nebraska Wesleyan University offers a free, anonymous mental health screening tool.
Take a few minutes to complete a short online survey. The results may help you decide whether to pursue personal counseling.
Nebraska Wesleyan University’s Career and Counseling Center provides confidential personal counseling services. The first five visits during an academic year are free. After that, sessions cost just $5 per visit.

Canceling an Appointment
If you must miss an appointment, call 402.465.2224 at least one hour prior to cancel or reschedule. Failure to do so will result in a $30 fee.
Confidentiality
NWU maintains strict confidentiality at all times.
- No information can be released without formal authorization from the student.
- All counseling records are kept separate from other university records and are accessible only by Counseling Services staff members.
- By law, counselors are required to report suspected child abuse or situations indicating imminent danger to self or others so, confidentiality may need to be broken in these situations.
