About Us

At the Personal Counseling Center (PCC), we believe that a successful college experience requires a sense of emotional well-being. To this end, we offer a safe and trusting environment to facilitate mental health care for registered students at no charge.

The Personal Counseling Center (PCC) is part of the Wellness Center.  The Wellness Center consists of three centers: The PCC, the Health Center, and the Disability Resource Center (DRC).  The CARES Team is also part of the Wellness Center.  These centers are united under the Wellness Center to provide a safe and central place for students who need personal assistance.
