The Counseling Center is part of FSC's Department of Health Services, alongside the Student Health Center and the Office of Health Initiatives and Promotion. We provide behavioral health care grounded in a holistic view of wellness. Every student's care plan is built around their individual needs across the six dimensions of wellness, supporting your growth as a whole person, not just the challenge that brought you in.

Wellness is central to the Counseling Center’s care for all Florida Southern College students. We believe that the Six Dimensions of Wellness encompass not only the student experience but the human experience. Often, when people hear “counseling,” they think of emotional wellness. We recognize that our emotional wellness is integrated into all aspects of our lives and cannot be a spot treatment. Our goal is to expand students' understanding of the college experience by teaching them skills they can use on campus, in their personal lives, and after graduation.
Holistic Wellness is the active, conscious, and deliberate process of unlocking an individual's full potential.
Worried about your student? Learn how you can encourage them to seek support, what we can and can't share under privacy rules, and the warning signs to watch for.
Our team of licensed counselors and wellness professionals, plus our four-legged colleague, is here to listen, support you, and help you find your way forward.
