Mission and Services

Mission

The mission of Scottsdale Community College Counseling Services is to support learning and retention by assisting students with identifying and achieving their diverse personal, educational, and career goals. Our mission is achieved through individual and group counseling, instruction, and crisis intervention, in addition to consultation and training with faculty and staff.

Individual Services

Scottsdale Community College counselors are available to assist you during the day and evening. Services provided by the counseling faculty include: personal counseling, career counseling, educational planning, counseling testing, and referral.

Information discussed in meetings with counselors is confidential. However, limited disclosure may be necessary if in the professional judgment of the counselor such disclosure is needed to prevent any individual from physical harm.

College Credit Classes

Each semester the counseling faculty offers courses in personal, educational, and career development through Counseling and Personal Development (CPD) classes. Topics range from personal awareness to skill development. These one, two, and three credit courses are offered both day and evening, and in some cases transfer directly to Arizona universities.

Group Counseling

Short-term workshops and presentations are offered to students, faculty, and the campus community.

Crisis Intervention

Counselors assist students, faculty, staff, and administration with crisis issues that interfere with the educational process.

Consultation and Training

Counselors work to assure student success and foster a positive learning environment by providing consultation and training for college personnel.
