Counseling Center
It is the mission of the Director of Counseling to promote the personal development and psychological well-being of all students, and to provide an environment that is conducive to growth and learning.
Free and Confidential short-term counseling is available for any student seeking help with personal, social, or emotional issues.
What is Counseling?
Counseling is designed to help you identify behaviors or ways of thinking that are interfering with your happiness and/or ability to function, and to guide you in making the necessary changes to fulfill your personal goals.
Confidentiality
Information shared by you in group or individual counseling sessions will be treated with strict confidentiality, and is protected to the full extent of the law. That information will not be disclosed to anyone outside the center without your written permission except when, in the judgment of your counselor, such disclosure is necessary to protect you or someone else from imminent danger.
