Counseling

Emergencies typically involve student safety & well-being, including suicidal thoughts or attempts, threats to others, sexual assault, severe depression, and anxiety.

During counseling center hours: when a situation is identified as an emergency or crisis and a student needs to be seen as soon as possible, every effort will be made to accommodate that request.

After counseling center hours: If on campus please contact Campus Safety at (928) 777-3333 or call 911. If you are off campus call 911, police or go to nearest hospital.

On and off campus support: 24/7 Crisis Hotline - Terros Health - 1-877-756-4090 for both telephone and mobile crisis response support if necessary.

Remember: if you are in danger or experiencing a medical emergency, please call 911. Otherwise, if you are experiencing a crisis and require immediate counseling, we are here to help. When a situation is identified as an emergency or crisis and a student needs to be seen as soon as possible, every effort will be made to accommodate that request. Visit or call the Counseling Office for more information. 

Concerns such as adjustment/transition to college life, grief resolution, relationships, family issues, substance abuse, eating disorders, self -esteem, lack of assertiveness, and depression are common for individual counseling. The number and frequency of individual counseling sessions will be agreed upon by client and counselor.

Open to all ERAU students and their significant other. This facilitates open lines of communication between individuals with an objective counselor.

Group counseling brings people with common therapeutic goals together. Counseling Services groups are professionally led and are typically 60 minute weekly meetings for about 6 weeks of the semester. A wide variety of groups will be offered each semester, depending on student needs/wants.

This service is available to students, faculty, academic staff and university administrators who are concerned about an unusual, problematic or potentially harmful behavior regarding a student. A counseling professional can consult about concerns, offer a professional view of the situation, and make appropriate recommendations when needed. 

Faculty, academic staff and university administrators who are in need of personal counseling can access services through the Employee Assistance Program.

At ERAU Counseling Services we offer short-term brief solution focused counseling, and will provide referral information when appropriate, to community agencies for students whose needs are beyond the scope of Counseling Services.

Expressive Arts Therapy (E.A.T.)
