Counseling

Some students may experience challenges with adjustment or personal crises during their studies at SUA. To assist students in coping with various difficulties, the counselors support and guide them on many important issues, such as establishing and maintaining relationships, coping with anxiety and depression, strengthening the ability to problem-solve and make decisions, navigating changes in relationships with family and friends, living with losses, and handling new academic demands. Because Soka University of America values the whole person wellbeing of each student, counselors are available not only in times of adversity but in pursuit of personal development, such as improving how they are managing an area of their life or getting encouragement and suggestions regarding a particular goal.
