About Our Counseling Services
The Counseling Services office at each campus is staffed with counselors who can help you navigate your college journey, guide you in making critical decisions related to career and transfer, and provide critical resources for well-being and mental health. Counselors can assist with exploration of transfer institutions and the development of a transfer plan, identification of career goals, application of academic strategies to improve academic success, and discussion of personal concerns that may be affecting academic performance or personal well-being.
All services are free to students.
Transfer Counseling
More than half the students at CCAC plan to transfer to four-year colleges and universities to continue their education. Students should meet with a counselor to identify the college they plan to attend after CCAC and the major they intend to pursue. Counselors assist students by helping select courses that are transferable to four-year colleges and universities. CCAC has articulation agreements with a variety of institutions to ensure the transferability of CCAC courses.
Career Counseling
Academic Suspension
Students are required to see a counselor before registering for courses if they are on academic suspension. Counselors assess the terms of students' academic suspension and provide them with the tools to successfully reach their educational goals.
Personal Counseling
Counselors assist students with a variety of academic and personal concerns in an open and accepting environment. Issues may include work/life balance struggles, substance abuse, suicidal ideation, anxiety, depression, loneliness, fear of failure, relationship conflict, feeling overwhelmed, and other issues that may impact mental health and well-being.
AHN Mental Health Therapist – We also offer mental health counseling, services that help students deal with emotional, psychological and social challenges. They involve working with a licensed professional to identify and treat mental health issues. Please reach out to a CCAC counselor, who will submit the referral.
