Let's Talk

Every Thursday from 2-4 p.m., either virtually or in-person, you will have the opportunity to join Kathy L'Heureux, Concordia's director of counseling services, for a free, confidential, brief consultation. No appointment is necessary! To join virtually, simply click this link during the times listed above. You can also attend in-person at THOM 202A-1. Although there is no set time for consultations, they typically take 15-20 minutes.

Let's Talk is NOT traditional counseling and instead offers a place where you can talk about immediate concerns and receive expert suggestions about solutions and resources, or simply meet someone who listens well and can offer support. No topic is off-limits, but common concerns include:

  • stress
  • sadness
  • career questions
  • academic concerns
  • family problems
  • financial struggles
  • relationship concerns, and more

Confidentiality Standards

The Counseling Center recognizes the need for students to have a safe and confidential environment in order to feel comfortable sharing personal information; therefore, no information is shared or exchanged without written consent by the student. Exceptions to the confidentiality policy include state and license mandated law and ethics: if the student reports risk of danger to self or others, if there is suspicion of child or elder abuse, or there is a request made by written subpoena or court order. Counselors may obtain necessary and confidential consultation or supervision with other mental health professionals to ensure quality of care. If you have any additional questions or want to learn more about confidentiality, please contact the Counseling Center.
