Counseling Center Staff is available to assist Faculty / Staff in a variety of ways that serve students. Having difficulty with a problematic student? Concerned about a student who appears distressed? Wondering how to support a student who shares with you that she or he has a personal issue? Wanting someone to talk with your class about the Center or a counseling related topic? Are Counseling Services available to Faculty? All of these are common questions the professional staff at the Counseling Center receive from faculty and staff regarding students. We address these questions through the following services:

Consultation Services:

The Counseling Center provides consultation services to the entire University Community. We are glad to answer any questions that you may have about our services, your concerns about a student and referral options. Your call will be routed to the counselor-on-cover, and, if that counselor is not immediately available, the secretary will take your number and the counselor will return your call within the day. Feel free to call and talk about your concerns regarding a student and, if indicated, ways to make an effective referral to the Counseling Center.

Outreach Services:

The Counseling Center staff is composed of a diverse group of individuals. Our staff's diversity is reflected in ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, theoretical orientation, and areas of expertise. All staff are essentially generalists - meaning that we are skilled in a wide range of issues typically seen at a university counseling center. We offer counseling in the areas or personal, academic, and career issues. Our staff also bring individual skills and interests that address the needs and issues of our diverse community of students at North Carolina State University. Due to the diverse range of interests, Counseling Center Staff are available to do programming and classroom presentations on a range of issues. Feel free to contact the Counseling Center to request a program or lecture. 515-2423

Counseling Services for Faculty:

The Counseling Center is not able to offer counseling services to faculty or staff. We do maintain a comprehensive database of therapists in the Triangle. We can help you identify a therapist who is skilled in a certain area or accepts a certain insurance. Feel free to contact us (515-2423) and ask to speak to the counselor-on-cover.
