PERSONAL COUNSELING CENTER

About Us

At the Personal Counseling Center (PCC), we understand that emotional well-being is essential to a meaningful and successful college experience. College can be exciting, but it can also bring stress and challenges—and we’re here to support you. That’s why we are proud to offer FREE mental health services to our students.

Our personal counselors are licensed therapists, along with highly trained graduate trainees who work under the supervision of licensed professionals.

If you would like to request one-on-one therapy sessions for yourself or refer a student, please stop by our office at Building 5, Room 303 or visit our Sign Up or Refer a Student page and complete the appropriate form.
