American University of Beirut’s Counseling Center exists within the Office of Student Affairs to guarantee rendering to currently enrolled AUB students a high quality professional service.

The Counseling Center provides services to students whose personal difficulties and problems interfere with their academic performance. It also assists students in formulating and achieving their educational goals through its psychological services.

Counseling or “talk therapy” involves one on one discussions with a trained professional counselor who will listen, ask questions, and help explore options about the problems or areas of concern to the student. It is a process of self-discovery and self-knowledge.

The Counseling Center's professionally trained counselors exert all possible efforts to assist and support students with emotional concerns in a sensitive, caring, and confidential manner.
