The Counseling Center provides services to students who desire help from professional counselors. Services are designed to help students deal with the pressures of college life. Issues commonly addressed are: separation from parents, relationship conflicts, loneliness, depression, stress, eating disorders, incest, rape, sexuality and career choices. The goal is to help students understand the situations in their past that have contributed to their present and, therefore, enable them to more effectively plan their future. Issues can be worked through individually or in a group setting.

All counseling is strictly confidential.

Appointments can be made by calling the Counseling Center at 978-368-2295.
