The aim of counseling at Mount Union College is to assist students in living their lives as well as possible. Counseling here is a partnership; people working together to find solutions and possibilities in life.

Counseling is short-term, and is most effective for standard life problems. Standard problems may include relationship problems, adjusting to college life, stress, the death or illness of a friend or relative, academic difficulties, career or work decisions, family situations, sports injuries or setbacks, the effects of violence or prejudice, and/or balancing school, work, and social life.

Presentations and workshops are available. Most education provided by staff members focuses on living a good life; on creating good relationships, learning stress management and relaxation methods, finding the right path in life, and living harmoniously with others.
