Free Counseling starting Jan 2022


We will re-open January, 10, 2022 and start contacting clients within a couple of weeks after re-opening, but individuals may call now and leave a confidential voicemail message to get on the waiting list now.

Graduate-level practicum students who provide these free counseling services at the ACCC have training in counseling adults, adolescents, and children. Counseling sessions are completely confidential.

All counseling in-person sessions will require counselors and clients to wear a face mask covering the nose and mouth at all times, regardless of vaccination status. For those unable to attend in-person, some tele-therapy services may also be available using confidential Zoom sessions.

Types of referral issues accepted include, but are not limited to:

· loneliness and isolation

· relationship issues (e.g., marital and premarital counseling)

· grief and bereavement

· social skills problems

· behavioral problems

· bullying problems (victims and perpetrators)

· depression

· anxiety

· academic problems

· career guidance

· parent-child conflict

· personality assessments (for the purpose of treatment planning)

· and many others (including just needing a listening ear when social support is limited for you)

We cannot take on cases that involve court testimony, disability evaluations, custody disputes, walk-in crises, or that require around-the-clock availability of intensive services (e.g., frequently actively suicidal or violent thought disorder).

OK2SAY is the student safety program which allows students to confidentially report tips on potential harm or criminal activities directed at students, school employees, and schools. It uses a comprehensive communication system to facilitate tip sharing among students, parents, school personnel, community mental health service programs, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, and law enforcement officials about harmful behaviors that threaten to disrupt the learning environment.
