Welcome to the Counseling Web Site
 
Who We Are:
Students
face both academic and personal issues while at Lees-McRae.
Sometimes, personal issues become intense and may interfere with school
performance and personal happiness. Our center provides a place
for students to talk about personal problems and concerns.
Additionally, staff members provide outreach and present programs on
campus on topics such as healthy relationships, stress management, body
image, the power of one, and conflict resolution.
If you think you would benefit from counseling, you
are not alone. Each year approximately
10% of the student body
makes use of the Counseling Center.
The Counseling Center is staffed by a licensed
counselor and graduate interns who specialize in treatment of many
issues affecting college students today.
To find out more
about the Counseling Center, please call us at (828) 898-8841 or visit
our office at The McRae House, the tan house next to Tennessee Residence
Hall.
