Student Counseling Center
The Student Counseling Center offers confidential one-on-one counseling and crisis services for YHC students.
Mental health matters
Mental health is an essential part of overall wellbeing. Mental illness, addictions, and other challenges can emerge in response to college stress. The counseling center is a nonjudgmental and safe space that assists all students. Any concern of a student is regarded as important and is treated with respect.
Counseling Center services
- Free and confidential individual, couples, family, and group counseling
- Presentations, workshops, and resources on mental health and wellbeing
- Referrals to local providers for long term treatment, medication management, and/or psychological evaluation as needed
Counseling sessions range from one brief meeting to ongoing 50-minute sessions, up to 12 sessions per school year.
Make an appointment
To make an appointment, call (706) 379–5057 or email [email protected]. You can also stop by the Student Success Center in person to ask about availability.
Please complete the following forms and consents prior to the first session. Please also be sure that all health forms are up to date.
When you arrive
Upon entering the Student Success Center, check in on the computer at the main desk. Then have a seat in the waiting area.
Once checked in, your counselor or the administrative assistant will greet you shortly and escort you to the counselor’s office. In an emergency, please alert front desk staff for prompt assistance.
Telehealth counseling services
Are ‘in person’ counseling services not for you? Would you like to speak with a licensed clinician immediately rather than wait for an appointment?
If so, you can also access free, 24/7 virtual counseling services through the Virtual Care Group. To activate your account, enter your last name, date of birth and school zip code 30582. You can also reach 24/7 customer support at 866-533-1827.
