Counseling & Psychological Services

In this group, students express themselves using visual and written mediums in a confidential, therapeutic setting. Using the creation of writing and art as a starting point for group discussion, students in this group gain insight into themselves, learn effective communication skills, and improve relationships. No artistic talent is required-- simply a willingness to engage in creativity and conversation so that group members learn, grow, and heal. Group meets weekly on Friday from 1 to 2:30. Call (828)262-3180 if interested.

As many college students look forward to a well-deserved break, we know that time away from campus can also present its own unique set of challenges and stressors. With this in mind, we've created a new self-help guide, "Finding Balance During Breaks," that includes tips for maintaining healthy routines, relationships, and more during breaks from school. We've also included ways to stay connected with the Counseling Center and our resources, in addition to a variety of national resources that may be helpful for students while away from campus. Check it out on the Self-Help page of our website for this and other self-help materials.
