Counseling Support Services

Students who desire access to counseling services in Lancaster should contact Lisa Sauder, Coordinator of Student Advising for information regarding options and referrals.

The EMU Counseling Center in VA is only staffed to provide clinical services to undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in and attending classes on EMU’s Virginia campus.  Services for Lancaster-enrolled students are for consultation, not primary clinical care. 

Requests for information on counseling assessment, treatment, and support for mental health needs from Lancaster enrolled students will be processed by the counseling center director.  Every effort will be made to advise the student or front line personnel on how to access services in their area.  Guideline regarding risk assessment will be provided if needed.

Requests in situations of high risk and emergency will be handled by any counselor on duty.  Advice will be given on assessing risk and determining emergency services to contact.  Faculty, staff, and students will be advised to make safety the primary goal.
