Explore solutions concerning personal concerns impacting your educational experience and personal development.
Our Counseling Centers provide short term (7 sessions) personal counseling services for currently enrolled students. Professional counselors or psychologists can help you clarify issues, provide support and guidance, as well as work toward a resolution. In addition to counseling, we offer a Personal Development course and free workshops.
Issues students bring to counseling:
- Balancing the demands of school, family and work
- Isolation and alienation
- Grief
- Difficulty with alcohol or other drugs
- Test anxiety
- Relationship issues
- Depression, anxiety or anger
- Family members' issues
- Sexual identity
- Eating disorders
- Decision making
- Needing information about community agencies
If it appears that your needs cannot be met at the Counseling Center, your psychologist or counselor will attempt to locate appropriate on or off campus resources that best meet your needs.
