Counseling Services
During the regular school year, students may seek out short-term counseling both in person and virtually for a variety of reasons, some of which might include: anxiety, depression, adjustment to college, sexual assault, alcohol/drug concerns, crisis intervention, identity, difficulty concentrating or lack of motivation, eating disorders, family problems, group counseling, lack of assertiveness, relationship problems, and stress. We are welcoming of the LGBTQ+ community and are BraveZone trained.
For students experiencing emergencies after hours, call your local 911 with any life-threatening event. If you are on campus, you can contact Campus Safety at 717-867-6111 or your RA who can help get further assistance. Despite Counseling Services being closed in the evenings and on weekends, we do provide 24/7 crisis contact. In the event of a mental health emergency, call LVC’s Campus Safety and the officer will contact the counselor on call for direction.
If it is not an emergency, you can email counselingservices@lvc.edu or call 717-867-6692 and leave a detailed phone message. Our staff will return your call or email the next business day.
For parents, faculty and staff concerned about a student after hours, call Campus Safety at 717-867-6111 and report your concern.
In addition, the counseling staff periodically offers outreach programs to athletic teams, residence halls, student clubs, and other campus groups to discuss issues that have an impact on the lives of college students. Some of these programs address the following topics: healthy relationships, sexual assault education, stress management, eating disorders, depression and the college student, anxiety and the college student, alcohol and drug education, and suicide prevention and education. Email counselingservices@lvc.edu to schedule a program.
