Personal Counseling: Sometimes life at college brings with it self-doubt, worries, or confusion about values. Talking with a professional counselor may help you identify and clarify issues and in finding the coping resources to successfully confront them. Individual counseling is a partnership endeavor where both the counselor and you work together toward your growth, happiness and fulfillment. Referrals will be made when warranted.

Career Counseling: Answers to questions, such as "What career? What major? Or what college?" are the outgrowth of understanding one's self. They require: time and thought; assessing your interests and abilities; realistic planning and career information; and recognizing your own style, purposes, and values. Talking with a professional counselor will allow you to discuss your current situation, your hopes, your dreams, your fears, and your questions. In addition, we can help you explore your interests, personality style, values, and some special aptitudes.
