NEIU Offers Free Confidential Counseling Services

The Northeastern Illinois University Department of Counselor Education Personal Growth and Wellness Center is now accepting individuals as clients.

This is a free counseling service offered twice a year to the University and community at large. This opportunity is precious for those who are seeking growth and wellness for themselves. The serving counselors are highly effective in helping clients get back on track regarding their relationships, emotional health, coping behaviors and life quality.

The Personal Growth and Wellness Center is a training center for advanced graduate students in NEIU’s Clinical Mental Health Counseling Program, under direct and live supervision of an experienced faculty member within the Department of Counselor Education. The serving counselors also receive feedback and consultation from a Reflecting Team—an embedded training model within the center.

Space is limited during this Fall 2020 semester. Sessions take place online due to COVID-19, either on Zoom, Google Hangouts or other online meeting platforms.

Weekly sessions begin the week of Oct. 23 and run through the end of November, for a total of five or six consecutive sessions. 

The counseling services are confidential and free. Sessions are recorded for training purposes. The recording is encrypted. It then is destroyed after review.

If you or someone you know might benefit from this service, please email Dr. Mei Chen at m-chen@neiu.edu to indicate your interest.  We will follow up with details of how to move forward.
