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
- Supervision and support for students who are on academic restriction, or who have been previously academically suspended or dismissed
Areas of specialization may differ among the counseling faculty, but they have one main objective, student success.
