Student Counseling Services (SCS) provides services designed to promote the academic, personal, and social growth of students. The college years are filled with exciting and challenging times for students. It is normal, even expected that students will encounter difficult or stressful events. However, when students use the resources available to them, there is a much greater chance of success and overall well-being. SCS offers individual, group, and general support services by a qualified mental health professional. Students in need of long term support will be referred to an appropriate provider.

The overall goal of SCS is to help students develop news ways of addressing and dealing with problems. Through learning new coping skills, the student will be able to become more self-reliant and be able to apply problem solving skills to future problems. Counseling is a collaborative effort between the counselor and student. Counseling is about change—change in our thoughts, emotions, and/or behaviors and each individual has the power and inner strength to make positive changes in their lives. The goal of Student Counseling Services is to teach the student ways to best enhance student success by learning to make informed decisions, learning skills necessary to overcome daily struggles, and learning how to set obtainable goals.
