Counselors

HCC counselors are available to assist students with a variety of issues in a professional, confidential environment. Our goal is to promote emotional health and wellness among our entire student population. 

Our services are free to HCC students and include:

  • Short-term individual counseling
  • Seminars and workshops on study skills, time management, interpersonal skills, test anxiety reduction, and career exploration
