The College Counseling Center assists matriculated SUNY Potsdam students in becoming mature, healthy and thoughtful citizens within our community and those which they live after graduation. To this end, we believe that all students have the ability to become self-actualized, responsible and civil.
The College Counseling Center is dedicated to the purposes of creating therapeutic relationships and using evidence-based treatment to empower students to utilize knowledge and skills that will provide collective psychological security to the SUNY Potsdam community and to the world they ultimately come to work and live in once they have graduated.
