Counseling Services
Counseling Services assist students by promoting their emotional, social, and behavioral growth in order to help them achieve their academic and personal goals. Individual counseling and workshops are utilized to address issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, peer pressures, and life decisions. Students learn how to develop action plans to address developmental issues or personal goals. Services are free and confidential.
Counseling services can be a helpful resource to college students who may be facing issues involving transitions in their life including starting college, living away from home, exploring personal relationships or struggling with value clarification. It is important for students and their families to understand that the counseling offered at Carroll College is short-term and cannot replace or substitute as a service for long-term counseling, psychiatric services or the treatment of mental health issues with medication. Referrals to mental health care professionals in the Helena community can be provided. As with all referrals to health care professionals, billing for services are handled by the health care professional with insurance providers.
Confidentiality
Visits to the Wellness Center staff are confidential. This means that communication between all staff and clients is privileged and safe-guarded, i.e., information is not released to anyone (parents, employers, or authorities) without your written permission, per the legal standards of the State of Montana concerning Privileged Communication (37-23-301) and the ethical code of the American Counseling Association.
