GTC Counseling Staff
Counselors work with you to resolve concerns about your life inside and outside of the classroom. They can assist with a variety of issues and concerns, as well as provide information on topics, tactics, and resources that can help you succeed.
Counseling Intern
As part of our commitment to student success, our Counseling Center hosts graduate-level counseling interns who bring fresh perspectives and energy to their work with students. Meeting with an intern offers students timely access to services while also supporting the development of the next generation of counseling professionals. Interns are supervised by licensed staff.
Counselors are available to come to your classroom to do a quick class visit to share information about Counseling Services as a resource. We are also available to provide workshops for your class on topics such as stress management, coping skills, and anxiety. Please feel free to email or call us to schedule and discuss your needs.
Our ability to accommodate requests depends on counselor availability and having enough advance notice to ensure we have time to prepare (usually 2-4 weeks).
If you are unsure about referring a student, we encourage you to look for some warning signs:
- Increased alcohol or drug use
- Withdrawal from family, friends and society
- Decrease in quality of schoolwork
- Infrequent class attendance
- Significant changes in personal hygiene
- Excessive weight gain or weight loss
- Comments that suggest thoughts about hopelessness or self-harm
