Individual Therapy or Career Counseling
One-on-one counseling is available to all current Lenoir Rhyne University students. All you have to do is call (828) 328-7252 or email jenny.smith@lr.edu to set up an appointment.
Crisis Intervention
Counselors as well as other appropriate staff or community resources assist students in times of crisis or other emotional difficulties. If you are in need of an immediate appointment, during regular office hours, you may contact Jenny Smith, MSW, LCSW at (828) 328-7252 or at jenny.smith@lr.edu. If you are in crisis and unable to reach the campus counselor, you may contact Catawba County Mental Health's Mobile Crisis Unit at 1-877-327-2593.
Referral Services
Students who require additional support or specialized help will be referred to local resources. Off-campus costs are the responsibility of the students.
Confidentiality
Counseling often involves the disclosure of personal information. State laws and professional ethical codes dictate that the information discussed during the counseling session will be strictly confidential, if you are 18 years of age or older. The counseling records are not kept as part of your academic or administrative records. Furthermore, the fact that you have used our services, and the information that you share in counseling will not be disclosed to university officials, faculty, staff, parents, outside agencies, or anyone else without your written permission.
