Counseling Services
Our goal at Counseling Services is to provide a safe, confidential atmosphere. We are available to assist students with personal, developmental, or psychological concerns that impact academic progress, the achievement life goals, individual and emotional growth, or the development of healthy relationships. Through collaboration with students, we help establish new strategies for managing and coping with challenges. Staff assist students in learning to clarify their feelings through self-exploration and discovery.
Today’s students are under tremendous pressure. Counseling Services is committed to helping students navigate this pressure. Staff offer assistance with such topics as adjustment to college life, stress, depression, anxiety, loneliness, sexuality, eating issues, perfectionism, academic concerns, discrimination, and relationship issues. We provide single-session, problem focused services, group counseling, individual counseling, couple’s/relationship counseling, meditation, workshops and drop-in group support, crisis intervention, and resource referral.
Counseling appointments can be requested by email, phone or online via Starfish. Services are provided at no charge to students. As necessary, students are referred to other professional resources which may be on or off campus. Students are notified at orientation how to make an appointment to see a counselor.
