NCSSM’s Counseling Services department is dedicated to providing support and assistance for NCSSM students as they grow in all dimensions — emotionally, intellectually, physically, spiritually, and socially. Counselors support students in their adjustment to the NCSSM community, in their individual personal growth, in their academic endeavors, and in their transition to college. Individual counseling is the primary approach, along with group counseling sessions and programs that assist students as they encounter the changes that accompany adolescence and challenges unique to the NCSSM community. 

Counseling Services provides support and care for each student through personal and academic counseling, college and career planning, group information sessions, parent/guardian meetings, student-teacher meetings, and student support team meetings.

In addition, trained students (Peer Counseling Coordinators) assist in multiple ways, such as advertising services, assisting with college planning, publicizing opportunities, and developing wellness programming related to student needs.
