All students may obtain professional individual and group counseling through the Counseling Center. Students are assisted by the counselors in exploring feelings, attitudes, motivation, academic abilities, study habits, time management, test taking and stress coping skills, as well as many other areas of need. Career exploration through the Strong Interest Inventory is also available.

The Counseling Center Staff includes professionally trained certified counselors and licensed clinical social workers. Referral services are available when needed. Emphasis is placed on aiding the students and on maintaining a confidential counseling relationship.

Xavier's Wellness Program for students, staff and faculty is coordinated through this office. The Wellness Program encourages students to be the best that they can be in every area of their lives -- physically, mentally, emotionally, socially, spiritually, intellectually, academically, and occupationally. Wellness programs include a Wellness Awareness Week, a Walking Club, a weight reduction program, a Wellness Video Series (consisting of information on HIV/AIDS, nutrition, stress management, smoking, drug abuse, conflict management, assertiveness training, and more). The Counseling Center also sponsors Wellness Peer Counselors, a student organization which helps other students, staff and faculty learn how to live a Wellness lifestyle.
