Supporting Your Mental Health Journey
IE University’s counseling services care for students’ mental health and psychological growth. We provide a safe and confidential environment where students receive professional psychological support tailored to their unique journey through academia.
What We Offer:
IE University offers short-term mental health counseling through two types of service:
- “Guidance” Modality: Available for students who are experiencing mild to medium levels of psychological discomfort, are looking for emotional support and healthier coping mechanisms, and who are looking for expert advice to identify personal resources and solutions.
- “Clinical” Modality: Available for students who are experiencing highly debilitating emotions, thoughts, and behaviors with a significant impact on their functionality, and require short-term therapeutic intervention.
Students can access both services during the academic year. Our guidance counselors are available to recommend the most suitable support for your unique situation. If you already have a mental health condition and wish to continue your long-term treatment in Spain, we can provide you with a list of trusted psychologists and psychiatrists.
