Confidential Counseling by a Licensed Professional Counselors

South Texas College of Law is pleased to offer the services of Licensed Professional Counselors to help students cope with the adjustments and stressors inherent in attending law school. Final exams, financial problems, relationships, and career decisions are just a few examples of life’s everyday stressors that could serve to inhibit academic performance. The College is interested in providing our students with an additional avenue to address personal difficulties or concerns, thus increasing the likelihood of accomplishing educational goals.

The College has contracted with two independent licensed counselors to provide CONFIDENTIAL counseling services to any current STCL student.

• If further sessions are indicated, the student will incur the cost at rate agreed upon by student and counselor
  
• Referrals to other counselors can be made by the licensed professional counselor, if desired, for continued counseling
  
• All information, including who uses this service, remains CONFIDENTIAL
