About Student Psychological Counseling Services
Student Psychological Counseling services is a program designed for Shasta College students who are experiencing stress or other emotional difficulties. Frequently, these difficulties affect a student's academic performance or their ability to function effectively in social or work settings. Our goal is to assist students in overcoming these challenges.
Psychological Counseling services provide counseling, within a safe and positive environment, to assist with but not limited to panic/anxiety, depression, grief and loss, identity struggles, relationship difficulties, boundary setting, communication difficulties, or test anxiety. Students learn to feel better in general and develop more self-esteem. Many find they are able to function more effectively in relationships and to focus and perform more successfully in their classes.
Student Psychological Counseling services are not meant to be long-term. If longer term care is needed, we will work with you to connect with community care that aligns with your needs and preferences.
