Personal Counseling
When students need an objective, caring listener who is knowledgeable about human behavior, the Counseling Center is the place to go. Everyone can benefit from counseling from time to time, and a variety of students take advantage of our services.
There is nothing mysterious about the counseling process. Expect the counselor to listen attentively, to express caring concern, and to offer questions and feedback aimed toward helping you help yourself.
If you are not sure whether the Counseling Center is the place to go, come talk with us, and we'll assess it together. We can help with a wide variety of concerns, but we will also refer you to another agency or professional as needed.
