Counseling Philosophy

Our Philosophy

Counselors are available to discuss issues such as:

— Where you're going with your life

— Choosing unhealthy friends

— Coping with romantic relationship difficulties

— Coping with academic difficulties

— Feeling stressed out or anxious

— Feeling sad or depressed 

— Making new friends while in college

— Feeling like you can't continue

— Thinking that things always go wrong

— Coping with a physical or learning disability

— Or anything else that impacts mental health
