Testimonials
The Counseling Center has been a great resource for me during my years at Pepperdine. I love that the diversity of their staff allows students to find a counselor that best fits their needs and understands their cultural background. As a first-gen student, I was extremely nervous to begin counseling, but the staff cultivated such a safe space and made me feel heard . . . and I quickly grew to love my counseling sessions.
