Below are some of the most common questions regarding the counseling services provided by the Office of Student Affairs.
You can email or call a counselor to schedule an appointment. View the counseling staff at each PCOM location.
After scheduling an intake appointment with a counselor, you will be asked to fill out new student and consent paperwork prior to your initial meeting. Your counselor will email you a link to the paperwork which can be completed, signed and submitted online.
Confidentiality is maintained in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations. Faculty, staff or administration will not have any access to student counseling records without written permission from the student.
All counseling services (individual therapy, group therapy, consultations and walk-in appointments) are free to currently enrolled students.
The number of sessions will be based on the individual needs of the student. The counseling approach is generally short-term and problem-focused. This will be discussed and set during the intake evaluation session.
Sessions are typically 45-60 minutes long.
