Sometimes you need someone who will really listen when you talk about what’s going on in your life. Sometimes you need someone who can help you do better in school and figure out where you’re going. The staff in Counseling Services will listen, work with you and help get you moving in the right direction. Sometimes you just need a friendly ear, and that’s what you’ll find with our counselors. We’re here to help you discuss personal and school-related issues that you may not be able to discuss with a friend or family member.
