Personal Counseling

Getting help can be hard. The Counseling, Accessibility and Resources Office is here to help. The office is committed to student success, and its counselors realize that pressure and difficulties affect academic performance. Therefore, counseling staff are available to meet with students individually to discuss a wide range of personal concerns, while counselors provide encouragement and support in a non-judgmental environment, and intervene in times of crisis, they also help students identify and resolve personal issues, and make referrals when necessary.

Counselors help students explore the best options available for academic and personal success. Our counseling office utilizes a short-term model, and the counseling services are goal-focused. Staff members also have information about available community resources for students who need long-term therapeutic services.
