The transitions and stresses of life affect all students to a greater or lesser degree and may require the help of a qualified professional. Licensed professional counselors are available to provide a variety of services for a wide range of concerns in a trusting and confidential setting.
If you have concerns about the behavior of a student or would like more information about resources available please follow this link to Student Behavior Concerns.
Personal Counseling
Individual Counseling is offered in a confidential setting to assist students in achieving personal and educational goals. Often people have the misconception that counseling is the last thing to try - - that only those who do not "have it together" can benefit from counseling services. Rather, the majority of people often need someone to listen and to help them clarify their own ideas and concerns. Some common issues that students may deal with in counseling are:
Couples Counseling is available to currently enrolled students. Issues that may be involved in couples counseling are communication, problem solving, parenting, or conflict resolution.
Stress Management, is available to students who want instruction and supervision in the use of these techniques. Time management, assertive training, and methods of relaxation training are available for handling a variety of situations.
Referrals for alcohol/drug abuse, psychiatric evaluations, and other community services are available through the Student Counseling Center when a student needs additional assistance.

Career Counseling can help a student plan and organize their major and career decisions. A counselor can listen, respond to ideas, give feedback, teach strategies for making decisions, and help students formulate their majors and career goals. Personality and interest inventories (such as the Myers Briggs and the Strong Interest Inventory) are often used as a part of the career counseling process.
