Counseling Services

Students transitioning to the new experience of college life often face many unexpected challenges. For many, it's the first time they're living away from family and close friends and having to develop new friendships. Trying to find a balance with studies, activities, and social life can also be difficult. In order to assist students in facing some of these changes, North Greenville University provides confidential, personal counseling at no cost to students.

Ms. Sue Suomi, MA, has worked with individuals dealing with life transitions, loss and grief, anxiety, depression and relationships. She received her degree in counseling from Western Seminary in Portland, OR, and is a National Certified Counselor (NCC). She is on campus Monday through Thursday from 8:30 am to 5 pm, and Friday from 8:30 am to noon. You can contact Sue by calling her at extension 2094, or stopping by her office on the Campus Ministries hall of Tingle Student Center.

Mr. Walter Terlitsky (Mr. T for short) earned a Master's Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Reformed Theological Seminary in Jackson, MS and is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in South Carolina. You can contact Mr. T. by calling him at extension 1069.

Counselors accommodate "drop-in" visits, phone calls, emails and campus emergencies.

Sue and Mr. T. hope you'll stop by their offices if you have any concerns you'd like to talk about, or just to say "hey." They look forward to meeting you.
