Mental Health Counseling

The Counseling Center offers free, confidential, short‑term counseling to all RVCC students. You can meet with a counselor one‑on‑one or join group sessions designed to help you manage challenges and build skills that support your well‑being.

Our goal is to help you feel grounded, supported, and ready to succeed—academically, personally, and socially. We’re here to help you build resilience, manage tough moments, and find strategies that work for you.

What We Help With

Students come to us for all kinds of reasons, including:

  • Academic stress or performance concerns
  • Anxiety or depression
  • Time‑management or motivation challenges
  • Family or relationship issues
  • Low self‑esteem or lack of direction
  • Experiences with violence or sexual assault
  • Eating concerns
  • Loneliness or isolation
  • Grief and loss
  • Alcohol or drug concerns

If any of these feel familiar-or if you’re simply unsure where to start-we’re here to talk.
