Counseling Center Philosophy
Counseling services at Fort Lewis College are based on the philosophy that personal and emotional development is an integral part of a student's intellectual development. The Counseling Center has a staff of professional counselors committed to implementing this philosophy. The primary goals of the Counseling Center are to provide:
- An academic support system to help students overcome obstables in their academic programs.
- A counseling service to help students cope with crises or other immediate needs in their lives.
- An educational service to promote positive personal development.
- A support and information/referral service.
Personal counseling is confidential and is offered through individual and small group counseling. It is intended to be supportive to assist students in solving their problems of a short-term nature. Services are free to students on a short-term basis. There is a charge for therapy after a set number of sessions, for group counseling, and for testing services. If additional services are needed, students can be referred to the Health Center, appropriate mental health agencies, or practicing professionals in the community.
