To promote social distancing in response to the Coronavirus threat, SUNY Adirondack encourages students, prospective students and the general public to conduct as much business as possible with Counseling through email communications at counseling@sunyacc.edu.
Here to help
The Counseling Office provides professional counseling for students of the college to help them develop to their full potential. The counselors strive to support the academic, career and personal development of all students. Services are provided by professionally trained counselors who believe that education is a developmental process integrating educational, personal and social development.
Counseling takes the form of individual personal counseling, group counseling, crisis intervention and/or referral.
The outcome of counseling is movement toward understanding thoughts and feelings, interests and aspirations, increased autonomy, relating meaningfully with others and integrating personal and social responsibilities.
For more information, contact 518-743-2278, or email us at counseling@sunyacc.edu.
In a crisis, please indicate the immediacy of an issue. If students are uncertain about counseling, introductory appointments may help them decide. The decision to seek counseling is always up to the individual.
This month's focus: Depression and Suicide Prevention.
