COUNSELING SERVICES DIVISION

PERSONAL COUNSELING

We all have our share of problems. Sometimes these problems interfere with our ability to do well in college, sometimes they interfere with our ability to continue in class, and sometimes they interfere with our emotional well-being.

College life offers many new experiences and challenges. This can be an exciting time in your life. It can also be a stressful time if you, or someone you know, feels overwhelmed. Sometimes problems interfere with our emotional well-being. As a result, our ability to continue with classes or do well in college will diminish.

Personal Counseling is available on campus from professionally trained counselors and psychologists who can help you find solutions. These services are free to all currently enrolled students. All counseling appointments are private and confidential. Our program offers short-term counseling, as well as crisis intervention counseling. The Counseling Program welcomes students of all cultural and ethnic groups, ages, lifestyles, and diverse value systems.
