Helping All
Students Thrive
Counseling Services
Welcome to Trinity Counseling Services!
At Trinity Christian College, we believe that genuine education involves the whole person. Trinity Counseling Services exists to cultivate emotional well-being, relational health, and spiritual vitality for all our student body. We provide a safe, nonjudgmental, and confidential space so that you can grow in your understanding of yourself and your world.
We are here to help you thrive, reach your academic goals, and tell the story of who you are becoming. Our counselors are ready to have confidential and therapeutic conversations to help with things like stress, anxiety, and depression. We are also here to help students navigate through the transition to college, broken relationships, disordered eating, alcohol and drug addiction, issues related to sexuality and gender, trauma, conflicts related to faith, and more.
Trinity’s counselors are professionally trained, and our services are confidential. Counseling is available to all Trinity Christian College students, at no additional cost.

Professional Counseling Team
The counseling staff at Trinity Counseling Services warmly welcomes you to counseling services that are professional, confidential, and personally tailored to fit your goals and challenges. We desire for each of our clients to feel safe, understood, and deeply respected as we explore the unique situations and opportunities for healing and growth they encounter during their years at Trinity. All of our counselors practice from a Christian worldview and are willing to include conversations about faith in the counseling process, if you so desire. However, we equally welcome all members of our student body, regardless of faith or creed, to enter into a life-enriching conversation through counseling.
