Celebrating the LGBTQIA+ Community

Counseling

TCC Counseling

All of our campuses employ counselors and mental health professionals to provide you assistance with personal concerns, career decisions, and issues which may be interfering with your academic success.

  • Mental Health Resources: Referral to community resources is often part of the counseling process. Short term counseling (6-8 sessions) is free if you're a currently enrolled student at TCC.
  • Veterans Counseling: For our military veterans, we also have a group of dedicated counselors to help provide guidance for your time inside and outside of TCC.
  • Contact Counseling: To schedule an appointment, contact your campus's Advising and Counseling Center.
