Collin College Counselors aim to support our students' success by offering counseling
services to help maintain a safe and healthy learning environment. Students seek counseling
for a variety of reasons, which include but aren't limited to: depression, anxiety,
relationship issues, trauma, general wellness, domestic violence/abuse, academic concerns,
alcohol/drug addiction, gender identity, eating/body image, stress, etc.
All issues are taken seriously, and no problem is "too small" to discuss.
Counseling Services is designed to meet the needs of Collin College students with compassion, honesty and confidentiality.
Once you begin classes at Collin College, you are eligible for counseling services.
We look forward to working with you.
Counseling Services also offers virtual seminars on a variety of wellness topics throughout
the semester.

We value and celebrate diversity of our students. We stand with students who may identify
with marginalized identities including but not limited to LBGTQIA+, BIPOC, and students
with disabilities. We also recognize systems of power, privilege, and oppression impact
our students’ lives, mental health, and academic success. We strive to provide a space
where students can share and process these experiences and encourage students to bring
all their identities into the therapeutic space.
Students needing accommodations for counseling sessions or seminars can request through
the ACCESS office by emailing access@collin.edu or calling (972) 881 5898.
