The counseling program is an important part of the mission of Greenville College to stimulate personal, intellectual, emotional and spiritual growth and maturity. The counseling program at Greenville College provides counseling services to students free of charge for a wide variety of issues and personal concerns. Services are provided through individual counseling sessions, group counseling and topical seminars. Confidentiality means that your involvement in counseling and the reason for your involvement is protected within the counseling program. Information cannot be released to school personnel, family, friends or anyone else without your specific written authorization.
People seek counseling for many reasons.
But typically they come for services when they recognize that they are not functioning fully academically or socially. Many factors affect our functioning. When you call for information or are seeking help, you will talk with a counselor who will discretely explore the nature of your concerns over the phone and then set up an appointment for you to meet with a counselor as soon as possible. At your first meeting the counselor will begin by getting some information and giving you an opportunity to express in more detail the concerns that you have been having. Together, you and the counselor will determine the best course of action, including the type of service that would be most helpful.
