The need for counseling increases when people are sometimes faced with many challenges in life. Students seek counseling for various reasons.

A Counselor works closely with our students to be able to provide support, assess the ability and potential in students, empower students to improve mental health and awareness, and help manage personal goals and how to achieve them successfully.

Here at NexGenT, we care for you, we make sure that you are heard and most of all your success is important to us!

  6. Why do students need counseling?

    Counseling is a collaborative process and a choice. The professional relationship between you and your counselor, which is fostered through counseling, is key to your success. Individual therapy gives you a safe space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and concerns. Individual therapy focuses solely on you. This allows for a deeper understanding of the issues and more time for developing coping strategies to help you handle difficult situations. The goal of counseling is to inspire change and improve the quality of life through self-awareness and self-exploration.

    Being in counseling can also:

    • Help improve communications skills

    • Help you feel empowered

    • Empower you to develop fresh insights about your life
