Counseling Services

Counseling Services provides a welcoming and safe place for students.  We know college is a place of transition.  Whether a one-time visit or short-term coaching and counseling over several weeks, staff have a desire to listen to students empathetically, and provide students encouragement and support. Students are assured confidentiality. 

Personal counseling is provided by a licensed professional counselor or a master’s level social work graduate student.  All services are free for students. 

Coaching and counseling provide the opportunity for students to:

• Focus on one’s mental well-being
• Work through past struggles, loses, and current challenges. 
• Set goals
• Develop new habits and/or attitudes

At times, students are referred to community mental health agencies or support services in order for them to be better served.
