Personal / Social / Life Transition Counseling

The Counseling department offers short-term personal counseling to help students deal with issues that are important to their overall well-being. Various changes and pressures throughout a student's educational career can contribute to considerable stress, and at times, crisis. Talking with a counselor during these times can often benefit students by:
  • Helping to identify strengths & sources of support
  • Connecting with school & community resources
  • Offering a different perspective
  • Helping develop new problem-solving & coping skills
  • Just having someone listen

When appropriate, counselors may refer students to other mental health professionals and community resources when in the best interest of the student.
