Christ-Centered Counseling Services

Just about every college and university offers some type of counseling services to its students and staff. Great Lakes is no exception. In fact, our counseling services are exceptional in that we provide two types of counseling.

Traditional trained counselors
A Peer Support team made up of trained peer counselors

Both types are available to help students work through various issues in a safe, confidential environment.

The Peer Support Team is a great way to connect with other students and affirm that you are not alone. Many students may have the same questions and concerns that you do. Often times it helps to talk to someone who is on the same path you are and can really relate to your season of life.

At Bible colleges and Christian colleges, students have the added assurance that the support they receive from counselors, professors, mentors and peers comes from a place of God's love.

A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in a setting of silver. Proverbs 25:11
