Student Counseling

Personal Counseling in the Community College Environment
Personal counseling in a community college setting is focused on psycho-educational and developmental issues. The emphasis is on managing temporary problems of daily living, rather than treating mental disorders. A counselor can help students think about events in different ways, helping them gain perspective, make good choices, and experience less stress.  And, of course, a counselor can help students with academic issues, such as test anxiety.  A community college counselor can also screen students for depression, anxiety, and other psychological disorders and, if necessary, refer them to community resources that provide therapy.

Scheduling Appointments 
Counseling services are free to all BCC students and are provided on an appointment basis. To make an appointment for personal counseling, call the Counseling Center at x.2234. If you prefer, you may just walk in (G208) to schedule an appointment. If t is determined that we cannot provide the level or type of treatment needed, we will offer a list of referrals to treatment providers in the community. BCC has neither control over nor responsibility for fees, insurance, intake, or appointment protocols set by outside providers.
