Counseling services at the Seattle Central campus are responsive to the diverse needs of the student population. Counseling is an essential part of the students' educational experiences at Seattle Central. Counselors teach students to identify and achieve their educational, career, and life goals. Counselors assist students in life and school transitions by bringing out and utilizing the student's own resources, combined with the use of external support systems. They provide students with the opportunity to acquire the skills of self-management, decision making, problem solving and the value of commitment to attaining one's educational goal.
Counselors act as advocates to minimize educational barriers for students.
Counselors are assigned to the different instructional departments and student service areas of the college.
