WTAMU Student Counseling Services Center
Life as a college student can be an exciting time filled with freedom, changes, and new experiences! It can be fulfilling, rewarding and sometimes challenging. For many students, these changes and demands can be overwhelming. WTAMU's Student Counseling Services understands that students may need some support during the school year to help them succeed. The Student Counseling Center is able to help students through:
- Personal Counseling
- Group Counseling
- Crisis Intervention
Student Counseling Services is located in the Classroom Center Suite 116. Our center is the suite with frosted glass windows in the Student Success Center.
Scope of Care
The Student Counseling Center provides short-term counseling and consultation to students who are experiencing emotional and psychological problems that are interfering with their ability to be successful in school. Our purpose is not to provide intense treatment for severe, chronic, or long-term mental illness or mental health problems.
Helping people grow is the focus of Student Counseling Services. Personal counseling is a process of self-discovery and growth. Most people, at one time or another, can benefit from mental health counseling. Improving self-confidence, relationships, decision-making skills, and reaching personal goals can be enhanced through personal counseling. Student Counseling Services provides individual and group counseling for concerns that are common among undergraduate and graduate students. Grow in knowledge through academic study and grow as an individual through personal counseling.

Get Connected With a Mentor
Transitioning to college life can be very difficult. Sometimes, we don't know who to ask for help or what kind of help is out there. Our mentors will help you obtain knowledge of campus and community resources, learn about campus organizations, understand the education process, encourage college success, and provide a trusting relationship. If you are interested in being paired with a mentor, please get in touch with the foster care liaison:
