Counseling Services help students with any issues impacting their lives.  Individual counseling is a one-on-one, confidential meeting.  The counselor will do several things with you;

  • Help you identify your strengths and resources.
  • Collaborate with you to develop a plan for addressing your concerns.
  • Suggest additional services which may be of benefit to you, both within the Counseling center, elsewhere on campus, or in the community.
