Services
The Counseling Center addresses students' concerns regarding a wide variety of issues. When faced with adversities, individuals are often able to receive the support necessary to overcome their difficulties through communication with their families or friends. However, professional assistance may be necessary for adequate resolution to occur.
The Counseling Center's staff provides counseling services for all enrolled ULM undergraduate, graduate, and professional students. All counseling services are free of charge.
Confidentiality is an essential component in the counseling process. Students are encouraged to feel comfortable in sharing their issues of concern in an environment that is safe and non-threatening.
Personal Counseling
The Counseling Center's trained professionals assist students who are struggling with difficult life issues. Stress management, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns are just a few of the topics addressed by clients. |
Substance Abuse Recovery Program
A Counseling Center substance abuse specialist identifies problems relating to the use of alcohol and other drugs and works with students in recovery. Individualized assessment, counseling, referrals, and groups are available. |
Educational Counseling
Students with academic concerns may seek individual counseling in order to address specific situations. Common issues include: test anxiety, time management, note-taking skills, and reading comprehension. |
Group Counseling
Group counseling can often be a more curative force than individual therapy. Participants receive mutual identification with and acceptance from others going through similar problems. Each semester, the Counseling Center offers students an opportunity to participate in a group experience which addresses a specific topic.
Support Groups Based Upon Interest
The University Counseling Center offers the following support groups based on interest:
Anger Management

Please call 342-5220 or e-mail dpani@ulm.edu for information on any of these support groups or to propose a support group on another topic. Dates and times will also be determined by interest. Support groups are open to students, staff, and faculty.
A wait list for each group has been created. If you are would like to participate in a group, please contact Denise Pani at dpani@ulm.edu or 342-5220 to be placed on the wait list. Those who are placed on the wait list will be contacted as soon as we have enough members to form a group. |
