Counseling

Services

Individual and group counseling services are available. Students may call for an appointment, walk-in or even sign up for various classes that focus on counseling and personal growth.

Career Counseling

This service enables students to understand their values, interests, skills and experiences in choosing a career path. The career planning process involves matching students to the compatibility of lifestyle and work demands, and assessing personality strengths and skills. Some assessments can be found in the Counseling Department while others are accessible in the Career Center. Please check with a counselor to see what your needs are for the best fit.

Career and Personality Assessment

We provide counseling tools that include career inventories and personality assessments to assist students in making career choices that are compatible with their interests, personality traits, work values and abilities. Please check with a counselor to see what your needs are and which assessments are best for you.

Education Planning and Academic Advising

Counselors provide assistance in preparing educational plans, including academic timelines and course selections. They also assist students in making wise decisions when choosing classes. Periodic evaluations with a counselor are encouraged to make sure all requirements are met to complete degrees & certificates, or to help manage the transfer process.

Personal Counseling

Individual counseling is private, confidential and free of charge. Assistance in resolving a crisis or personal issue, which may be interfering with educational success, is offered through counseling. This may include a referral process to a community agency if brief counseling sessions cannot resolve the issues. Counseling is voluntary and students may select the counselor of their choice.

Crisis Counseling

Crisis intervention is available Monday - Friday. Contact the Counseling Department for specific hours. Students may walk in and self refer, or a faculty or staff member may refer a student to counseling during a crisis. All counseling information is private and confidential, and may not be released without a signed release of information form by the student.
