Welcome to the University Counseling Center
University of Notre Dame

A Message from the Director:

Welcome to the home page of the University Counseling Center of the University of Notre Dame. You can read our mission statement here.

The Center's staff includes clinical and counseling psychologists, counselors, a social worker, a dietitian, and a consulting psychiatrist.

We provide individual and group counseling to all Notre Dame students - both undergraduate and graduate. We also are involved in the residence halls of the University both to assist in the training of hall staff and to provide psychoeducational programs for residents. Emergency services are available on a 24 hour basis.

In the past about 8% of the students (over 800) use our individual and group services during a typical year. Many more attend workshops or other campus programs sponsored by the Counseling Center. Typical reasons for using the Center include feeling anxious or stressed out, being depressed, having problems with family, friends, roommates or significant others, having trouble with alcohol or other substances or having an eating problem. You can learn more about these and other issues by spending some time looking at the self help materials contained in our web page.

If you feel that you or someone you know could profit from our services, please go through our web pages. If you still are not certain, then call our office to discuss the situation with one of our staff. We will either attempt to provide the help that you need or refer you to appropriate services.

Susan Steibe-Pasalich, Ph.D
Director
