Counseling Services
Wingate's Office of Counseling Services provides confidential, free (up to 6 visits with a counselor per semester), short-term mental health treatment to currently enrolled undergraduate and graduate students. Our counselors are licensed mental health professionals and supervised graduate student interns. In general, counselors do not give advice, but seek to help clients understand themselves and their situation more fully in order to more clearly see their options. Our counselors cannot guarantee specific results, however, counseling does benefit many people.
How We Can Help
There are many common issues that clients may discuss in counseling. And there are no right or wrong reasons to seek counseling. Reasons may include:
- Abuse or trauma
- Anxiety and stress
- Conflict management
- Depression
- Grief and loss
- Interpersonal relationships
- Transitioning to college
We offer support and brief counseling to students recovering from sexual assault or domestic violence. Counselors also perform crisis intervention.
