The purpose of conducting this qualitative research was to investigate Middle Eastern international students? perceptions of individual mental health counseling services at their colleges/universities in the U.S. An Interpretative Phenomenological Approach (IPA) developed by Smith et al. (2009) was used to analyze the data. Six participants (three females and three males) participated in two individual interviews. Both interviews were conducted during the Coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19). Therefore, interviews were conducted via Microsoft Teams rather than in a face-to-face format to keep participants and the researcher safe. Two superordinate themes and five subthemes emerged from analyzing the data. The first superordinate theme was "Mental Health Counseling Services are Unsafe to a Point." The three subthemes that emerged within the first superordinate theme were "influence of cultural stigma," "misinformation surrounding mental health counseling services," and "mistrust related to English as a second language." The second superordinate theme was "College Mental Health Counseling is Progressively Effective and Supportive." The subthemes that developed within the second superordinate theme were "shifting generational perceptions of mental health counseling services" and "personal experiences with professional counselors."
