Counseling

Northeast Iowa Community College offers free and confidential counseling to currently enrolled students. Licensed counselors can assist with problem solving and developing strategies to cope with stressors and, when needed, make referrals to community and mental health resources. Areas of assistance may include: stress management, anxiety, depression, time management, grief counseling, alcohol/drug issues, academic difficulties, eating disorders, gambling, financial hardship, relationship concerns and student success strategies. During the initial appointment, the counselors will assess the student’s needs and may recommend follow-up counseling at the College or referral to an area service or agency.

A Student Crisis Fund is available for students who experience a financial crisis that may prevent them from being able to continue the semester. Students can apply using the application found on the College website www.nicc.edu/crisisfund or in the Counseling Office. For more information on counseling resources or to schedule an appointment, students may contact the counselor on their corresponding campus.

Additional information on counseling services and community resources are located at www.nicc.edu/counseling.
