Counseling Services offers students free, 24/7 availability for confidential counseling to address and work on academic and personal concerns. Our mission is to meet students where they are and assist them in taking steps to improve their lives. The licensed counselors in Counseling Services help students identify steps they can work on to begin creating positive change in their lives with a holistic approach.
Counselors at Sinclair provide short-term counseling for students, but they can work with students to link them to referrals in the community for therapy or other services. The office is equipped with resources for Montgomery County and surrounding counties.
Counseling Services also offers trainings and presentations on various topics for faculty, staff, and students. Topics could include test anxiety, procrastination, and study habits.
