Personal and Informational Counseling



Personal and Informational Counseling

The problems you may experience while navigating through college life can prevent you from performing at your maximum potential. If you are experiencing difficulty in performing to your potential, social problems, and, or personal difficulties, seek assistance from Grayson County College's Professional Counseling staff (link to Academic and Career Advisors doc.) . Student Support Services provides personal counseling for students dealing with a wide variety of issues. Seek confidential counseling sessions to help you cope during difficult times. Referrals are made for those who require extensive counseling.

What is personal counseling?

When outside responsibilities conflict with academic progress, it often helps to talk about these issues with a counselor. For long-term counseling needs, the Center also maintains a community referral network.

What is informational counseling?

Counselors can explain GCC procedures, regulations, and services. When you find yourself with a question and don't know where to turn, Counseling Services is a good place to begin.
