HOW CAN COUNSELING HELP ME?
WHAT WE DO
COMMON QUESTIONS
Many students have personal issues that may
prevent them from achieving success in college
or other areas of their lives. To help you, a
professional counselor will openly discuss your
concerns, assist you in learning more about
yourself, and help you develop the skills
needed to cope more effectively with your
difficulties.
The Counseling Center provides the following FREE
and CONFIDENTIAL services to Queensborough
students:
1. What can I talk about with a Counselor?
PERSONAL COUNSELING
A counselor can assist you with resolving any
personal problems that may be affecting your college
experience. These may include getting along with
your family, making friends, feeling stressed or
depressed, and more.
TRANSFER COUNSELING
Not sure whether you should continue your education
at a senior college or look for a job? Don’t worry, a
counselor will help you explore different options for
post-graduation.
