This is not intended to be an all-inclusive list. There are other providers, both public and private practice, operating in our service area.

Student life can be tough, you don’t need to go it alone. MCTC has partnered with TalkCampus to provide all students with 24/7 instant mental health support. Students can chat anonymously with other students around the country going through the similar ups and downs.
Counseling Services will assist students in overcoming life stressors and support academic retention at MCTC.
Students can be referred for counseling by faculty or staff or community partner or may seek services on their own through Starfish, email or phone. Students will be assigned to a licensed community mental health counselor for an appointment. Walk in services may be seen as the CMH counselor is available, but not for an initial appointment.
Services can be billed to student’s insurance or based on sliding scale fee schedule. All services are confidential.
