Counseling Center

Services

In support of the College's commitment to nurturing the spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical health of all undergraduate students, we offer a professionally staffed Counseling Center dedicated to optimizing students' health and well-being.

The Counseling Center is located within the Zerbe Health and Wellness Center building and provides an array of mental health services including individual counseling, consultations, groups, seminars, trainings, and crisis management interventions. Common presenting concerns include depression, anxiety, relationship problems and stress overload.

Campus Outreach

Counselors engage in campus outreach to promote mental and emotional awareness and well-being to students. Beginning freshman year, students are engaged by counselors on topics such as thriving through stress, overcoming perfectionism, managing moods, and developing skills to lessen anxiety.

Staff led trainings and programs are available upon request to student groups and residence life.

Privacy

All counseling services are confidential and provided within the ethical and professional standards of the American Psychological Association and American Counseling Association. Students who attend counseling can rest assured that their information is protected and not shared with others, except in specific emergencies, which counselors will review at the initial appointment. Students must sign consent forms to permit communication to others. This may include consent to be assessed for medication through Zerbe Health and Wellness Center.

Internship Program

At the Counseling Center, we value mentoring the next generation of Christian counselors. We have a robust internship training program for Master’s level students completing their final phase of training. We accept students from various institutions of higher education who have a faith commitment to the Lord. For more information contact counseling@gcc.edu.
