Counselor: Susan Wason, LCSW

The life of a college student is not always easy. Sometimes students feel overwhelmed with concerns about academics, family, relationships and career planning. When this happens, the student may cope with these feelings in different ways - some are healthy responses and some are not. A counselor can help the student to develop a style of coping that is unique to that individual and one that can result in a positive outcome for the student.

Our counseling staff makes confidentiality a primary concern. Students' contact with counseling services will not be discussed with anyone, unless the student provides written permission for us to do so.
