Every student's journey is unique, and many face challenges along the way. Understanding this, we have created the Student Study Corner, a hub dedicated to provide diverse counseling services tailored to ensure students' academic and personal wellbeing. From mental health support to skills development, we are available to help students thrive and reach their fullest potential.
The importance of counseling services in an educational setting cannot be overstated. These services play an integral role in helping students cope with emotional, social and academic pressures that often come with being a student. A study from the American College Counseling Association (ACCA) found that students who receive counseling services are more likely to stay in school, perform better acadically and have an overall positive college experience.
We offer a wide range of services designed to meet the needs of our diverse student population. These include:
Mental Health Counseling: We have licensed mental health counselors who offer a safe space for students to express their feelings and thoughts. They can help students manage stress, anxiety and other mental health issues, providing tools for self-care and coping strategies.
Skills Development Counseling: Our counselors also help students refine skills such as time management, study habits, and career readiness. These sessions can help students work on building new skills and improving existing ones, preparing them for success both in college and beyond.
Academic Counseling : Our academic counselors work with students to help them understand their educational goals, plan their courses, and provide strategies for effective studying and maintaining good grades.
Wellness Counseling : This addresses the holistic wellbeing of students, focusing on lifestyle choices that contribute to physical, emotional, and mental health.
Drop-In Sessions : For immediate concerns or issues that can’t wait for a scheduled appointment, the Student Study Corner allows drop-in sessions with available counselors.
Students can avail themselves of these services by scheduling an appointment with the Student Study Corner. Our staff will match them to a suitable counselor depending on the student's identified needs. We also have an online booking system where students can see the availability of our counselors and schedule their sessions at their convenience.
Counseling plays a pivotal role in promoting wellness and overall success in students. Through counseling, students have had improvements not only in academic performance but also in personal development, interpersonal relationships, and problem-solving capabilities. It helps students manage anxiety, stress, and depression, affecting their academic performance and overall wellness.
Studies show that students who participate in counseling services display improved coping strategies which contribute to their persistence and resiliency, crucial factors in academic success. Moreover, skills development counseling enhances crucial abilities such as time management, organization, and interpersonal skills, which are transferable to career pursuits once students complete their education.
