Counseling and Student Wellness
College presents new experiences that may require adjustments in life as new interests and abilities are discovered. Our licensed, mental health counselors are here to promote a safe and inclusive space to support students in adjusting to the demands of college and life. Our goal is to support students in their emotional and mental wellbeing. We see students as individuals, exploring and growing to be the best version of themselves, towards thriving in their academic and wellness journey and goals.
