Services We Offer
We want to make mental health counseling as accessible as possible. To do this we offer:
Counseling Appointments With FRCC Counselor
These are offered on campus or virtually. Our counselor will work with you to determine what services and resources would be most helpful. If your needs fall outside of the scope of our services, we provide referrals to community providers.
Drop-In Sessions
FRCC offers brief drop-in sessions on campus as well as by phone. Drop-ins are a 15-20 minute meeting with a counselor to get support, problem solve, learn about services, and to make appointments. Students are met on a first-come-first-served basis.
Virtual Sessions Through BetterMynd
If you need to schedule outside of regular business hours or our looking for someone with a specific set of expertise, FRCC has partnered with BetterMynd to offer students access to free video-therapy sessions with their diverse network of licensed mental health counselors.
