Talking to friends, family members, or even a counselor can be difficult, but rewarding. Take the risk of allowing another to help you. Services offered at the counseling center include personal, couples and family counseling, stress management training, crisis intervention, presentations and programs, consultation with students, faculty and staff and self-help resources. The primary goals of counseling are to help you build upon your strengths, enhance your ability to address problems and develop your sense of autonomy and independence. The end goal of counseling is to help you face future problems more effectively.
Counseling is a confidential process as mandated by state law.
Stress management training teaches you more effective ways to relax. Whether your focus is on learning progressive relaxation or guided imagery, relaxation training can assist you to diminish test anxiety and manage stress. Many brochures and flyers can be found in the Student Development Center, Room 212 and in academic buildings at the Stephenville and Killeen campuses. The web site contains many brochures and pamphlets written by the counseling center staff and links to self-help information published by universities in the U.S. and Canada.
