Counseling

Professional counselors serve the college community by providing academic, career, and personal counseling to students in a confidential setting. Students can visit with counselors regarding a wide variety of concerns, including managing stress, developing career goals, creating academic plans, and understanding college policies. Counselors may refer students to the appropriate campus and/or community resources to best serve the needs of the student.

Students placed on academic probation or suspension are strongly encouraged to meet with a counselor in order to develop a plan for success.

Personal Counseling

Sometimes it is important to discuss life and academic issues privately with a counselor.  Currently enrolled students are invited to set an appointment with an HTC Counselor as needed.  These services are provided free of charge to currently enrolled students. 

Please call to make an appointment with an HTC Counselor:
