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. Students are encouraged to seek guidance from our Counseling Office, located in our Student Support Services. Although unable to provide ongoing counseling, a Counseling Coordinator can assist students who are in crisis, seeking to identify opportunities for academic and personal growth, or struggling with day-to-day challenges. A Counseling Coordinator can also help connect students with other on-campus services. If additional counseling services are needed, we offer referrals to mental health resources in the community, which can serve students on an ongoing basis. In cases involving a referral, Counseling Services can assist students in locating a mental health provider who either accepts a student's current insurance coverage or extends a sliding fee scale.  Students may contact a Counseling Coordinator to obtain assistance through the Office of Counseling Services:
