Counseling Policy

The primary mission of MPTC Counseling Services is to enhance the emotional and psychological well-being, development, and overall educational experience for enrolled students in a caring and compassionate environment. Counseling Services are free, voluntary, and confidential. As an integral part of the students’ educational process, limited personal counseling services are available to assist students in achieving their educational goals. Our LPC can and will make referrals to outside community agencies or community resources should the student require further needs.
