Emotional Health

The Counseling Center offers services to help students develop coping skills to address emotional, interpersonal, and academic concerns. The Counseling Center provides individual, couples, and group sessions. Generally, they offer short-term counseling, but they do provide referrals when students need longer-term services. These services are included in your health services fee.

Tuesday @ 7 Workshops: Each semester, the Counseling Center Paraprofessionals present a series of psycho-educational workshops. These workshops cover a range of academic and personal issues such as study skills, time management, body image, multicultural concerns, long-distance relationships, leadership development, relaxation techniques, social skills, and other current topics affecting college students. See the full schedule at the Counseling Center or view their brochures.
