During college years,
students face a variety of challenges
which affect growth and development.
At times, conflicts and problems can
arise and prevent students from realizing
their full potential. The Counseling
Center is a place for students to discuss,
explore, understand, and work through
their concerns freely and confidentially
with a professional counselor. In addition
to the counselor on staff, referrals
are, at times, made to the community
mental health center or psychologists
in private practice.
Students seek personal
counseling to:
- increase self confidence
- overcome loneliness
- deal with problems
involving alcohol or drug use or
abuse
- control test anxiety
- develop more satisfying
relationships
- study more effectively
- change unhealthy eating
habits
- cope more effectively
with stress
- other issues
Support groups are available
for students addressing common
issues. The counseling office also
sponsors
workshops on a variety of student
support topics throughout the academic
year.
