Counseling Services

While attending college can be an exciting time in the life of a student, it can also come with a number of challenges when family, school, and work responsibilities begin to compete for a student’s time. In the event that these responsibilities prove too much, students are urged to seek guidance from the counseling staff within the Office of Counseling Services. Although not able to provide ongoing counseling, the counseling coordinator can assist students who are in crisis or struggling with day to day challenges. If additional or ongoing counseling services are needed, Athens Technical College works in partnership with The University of Georgia’s Center for Counseling to serve students on an ongoing basis for continued care. The University of Georgia's Center for Counseling is able to provide ongoing counseling onsite at Athens Technical College as needed.

Students may also obtain assistance from Counseling Services staff in developing career goals, learning to manage academic programs, and dealing with work-related, personal, or financial problems. Students may contact the counseling coordinator at (706) 227-7174 to obtain assistance through the Office of Counseling Services.
