If you are a current or prospective student, you can make an appointment
to discuss your needs with a counselor. You and your counselor will decide together
how to proceed regarding the types of counseling available, number of sessions needed to accomplish your counseling goals, and to determine whether or not a referral is appropriate for you.
MATC Counseling Services offer a range of professional services for students needing assistance with academic and career issues, personal concerns, interpersonal issues, conflict management, and crisis intervention. Services may be offered in the form of individual, and/or group meetings depending on what best matches your needs.
If you are a student who is having academic difficulties and you are considering dropping a course, you are encouraged to schedule an appointment with a counselor. It may be important to discuss the effects of your decisions on your future financial aid or educational plans.
Counseling services are free and available to all current or prospective
students. Personal counseling services are brief in nature and a student needs to be currently enrolled at MATC in order to take advantage of this specific service. If we determine that your counseling needs require resources or competencies beyond what we can provide, we will assist with a referral to an appropriate and affordable community based mental health provider.
Counselors are available by appointment and walk-ins.

“Life Can Feel Like a Balancing Act”
When it comes to achieving balance, MATC counselors are professionals who can help. Consider that the "college experience" creates unique challenges and opportunities. Students must balance a new sense of freedom, interact in a diverse social environment, develop new relationships, perform in a demanding academic setting, and manage conflict. When students successfully master new tasks, they experience a great sense of accomplishment. Realizing that academic, career, and personal concerns are related, the MATC counseling staff works collaboratively and confidentially with students to help them achieve balance in their lives on the way to reaching their life and career goals.
