The Counseling Center has developed a career and vocational counseling service,
including the administration of career interest and assessment inventories to help
individuals establish a clear match between their personal and work related interests and
the types of careers and jobs which will lead to personal satisfaction. Like other
psychological services, initial appointments are scheduled with Lori Lawson, Ph.D. There
are multiple components to this program, with the Phase I consisting of the administration
of career interest inventories and up to three invididual appointments to clarify and identify
the nature of professional and career interests. Once new careers or professional
interests are established, additional assistance is provided, if requested, for help with
everything from resume writing to interview techniques, along with making healthy job
acceptance decisions after a position has been offered.

The Counseling Center provides the following community education classes and
workshops: Stress Management, Parenting Classes (including the Active Parenting
Today Series), Parenting of Teens, Coping with Chronic Pain, Coping with Divorce,
Helping Children With Homework, Coping With A Family Member’s Alcohol or Drug Use,
Enhancing Intimacy and Improving Conflict Resolution for Relationships, Resolving Painful
Childhood Experiences, Managing ADHD for Parents, and Advocating In The Schools
For Your LD or Other Coded Child.
