Personal Counseling
Personal counseling is available to students, by appointment, to discuss concerns
about school, relationships, parents, gender issues, substance use and abuse, divorce,
or other personal issues. An experienced professional counselor offers assistance in
a variety of personal development areas, such as stress management, acquaintance
rape education, wellness education and improved self-image. The Counseling Director
may refer students to appropriate community agencies, which can offer additional
assistance, treatment programs, or long-term counseling. Personality and interest
inventories are available to facilitate personal growth and understanding. Confidential
counseling sessions are scheduled with the licensed professional counselor with no
extended waiting period for appointments.
It is often beneficial for persons dealing with similar issues to help each other, resulting
in the formation of a support group. Support groups are formed at WNCC based upon
demand. Students should inform a counselor of ideas or concerns if they wish to join
or form a support group.
