Personal Counseling
Bellarmine's Personal Counseling department is dedicated to fostering the holistic development of each student, embodying our philosophy of cura personalis, or "care for the whole person." Rooted in the Jesuit tradition, this approach emphasizes the importance of understanding and addressing the unique needs of every student, recognizing that academic success is intertwined with emotional, social, and personal well-being.
All students are assigned to a Personal Counselor at the beginning of their freshman year at Bellarmine, affording our counselors maximum time to get to know their students on a more personal level. In the second semester of the junior year, students are assigned to a College Counselor who guides them through the college application process. Learn more about our College Counseling program here.
