Student Life

Wellness Counseling

The Wellness Counseling department at Priory is dedicated to supporting individuals as a whole, focusing on building and nurturing relationships. We place value on understanding the various interconnected aspects that influence a person's wellbeing and their ability to lead a balanced life. Our wellness counselors approach each student with acceptance and empathy, without judgment, aiming to contribute to their feeling of being truly seen and cared for at Priory.

We acknowledge that personal growth is a continuous, non-linear journey that goes beyond a student's time at Priory. Our approach is centered around the individual, characterized by empathy and compassion. It is truly an honor for us to create a supportive and welcoming space for each student.
