Your Wellbeing, Our Mission

The Office of Counseling and Wellness offers psychological assistance, wellness information and workshops, and connection to resources to help you tackle the struggles students face throughout their college experience.

At the Counseling and Wellness Center, we are dedicated to cultivating a culture of wellness that reaches every corner of campus life. We believe that mental and community health are collective efforts, and we are committed to promoting help-seeking behaviors as a sign of strength and self-awareness. Our team of dedicated counselors are available to help you feel your best so you can do your best; whether you’re looking for a quick resource or long-term support, you’ll find a compassionate environment designed to help you navigate life with confidence. 
 

Mental Health Support

How we can help

Pressures. Transitions. Personal challenges. Self-discovery. Any one of these can feel tough to tackle, but in college, they can hit all at once and be extremely overwhelming. As the primary mental health service at SFC, we offer undergraduate and graduate students confidential, non-judgmental support, information, resources, and more.
