A licensed professional counselor is available for counseling and consultations. Common goals of counseling include:

• To learn to deal with uncomfortable emotional issues such as anger, anxiety, shyness, depression, grief, guilt, fear, jealousy, and low self-esteem.
• To improve relationships with family, friends, instructors, co-workers, employers, and others.
• To learn time management and stress management skills.
• To overcome test anxiety and fear of public speaking.
• To increase communication skills, including social skills, assertiveness training, and conflict resolution.
• To learn new decision-making and problem-solving skills.

Services are confidential and are not noted on any student record.

Every student is encouraged to take advantage of the personal, academic and career counseling resources available on campus. Mandated counseling, on campus and within the community, is not a judicial sanction, but may be imposed as a condition for continued enrollment at the College in instances where the health and safety of the College community is of concern.

Disability Services
Students with disabilities are encouraged to discuss their needs with the Director of Counseling and Disability Services. Although the College is not mandated to make the same accommodations made for students in high school, there are instances where students with documented disabilities are granted warranted accommodations. See page 5 for additional information. Contact the office of Counseling and Disability Services or the Office of Student Affairs for more information.
