You Don't Have to Do It Alone
College and graduate school push you in ways that go beyond academics. At SCU, whole health means we see that — and we've built support specifically for the moments that don't show up on a syllabus.
Why Connect with a Counseling Intern?
- A Safe & Supportive Space — Talk openly about academic, personal, and social-emotional concerns without judgment.
- Confidential Support — Sessions are confidential and follow applicable privacy and professional standards.
- Flexible Scheduling — Evening and weekend availability, built around your class and work schedule.
- Student-Centered Support — Our interns bring current training from their graduate programs, committed to helping you build coping strategies that last beyond this semester.

Erika Lee from Concordia University, "As a counseling intern, I hope to work on the following: 1. Advocate and support marginalized students. As a first-generation college student, I hope to help students with my similar background so they may have access to equitable resources and opportunities. I hope to promote an inclusive environment in which students feel empowered and supported to succeed. 2. Teach students coping skills to overcome academic and social/emotional barriers of their rigorous programs. 3. Collaborate staff and stakeholders to implement interventions that address the challenges marginalized students face in postsecondary careers.
