The Lee University Counseling Center (LUCC) exists to provide professional and psychological services to support the holistic personal and emotional development of Lee University students. Caring and highly qualified therapists ensure a safe and confidential environment for all clients. All LUCC services are provided at no cost to qualified enrolled Lee University students. Students, faculty, and staff can find more resources on LUCC's Portico site.

The Lee University Counseling Center (LUCC) has re-opened, with staff primarily working in-office. Therapy and other mental health services will resume on the first day of classes (August 19th).

We will begin the semester (first 3-4 weeks) using telemental health (and other digital means) as our standard approach for provision of therapy as well as intake, psychiatric, and other services. This and our other re-opening policies have been developed in response to guidance from relevant sources including Lee University, relevant professional organizations, state and federal, etc. In rare exceptional cases, evaluated by pre-determined standards of necessity, in-person intervention may be offered. When providing in-person therapy/services, a variety of risk mitigation strategies will be required including but not limited to social distancing and the use of masks.

Please call LUCC at 423-614-8415 (rather than walking-in to the center) with any questions or if seeking to initiate therapy/services with us. In case of crisis, contact 9-1-1 or Crisis Response at 423-634-8995. If you are seeking crisis-related services from LUCC, please call rather than walking-in.

LUCC intends to re-evaluate our current policies following the first 3-4 weeks of the semester, with hopes of expanding in-person services. 

Direct clinical services are provided from first day of classes through Reading Day of each semester. LUCC is closed during the entire month of July and selected school holidays.

Due to COVID-19 changes, rather than following our typical intake procedure, please contact LUCC at 423-614-8415 or counseling@leeuniversity.edu and we would be glad to assist you.
