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.

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:
