Vision The Counseling Center commits to advocacy, social justice, and service to all students, including those who have been historically underrepresented and underserved. We strive to make a positive difference in our students lives by supporting and inspiring them to reach their personal, educational, and career goals. BC Counseling Center's Holistic Approach to Mental Healthcare At the Bellevue College Counseling Center, mental health and well-being are central to everything the counselors do. This focus is embedded across their workshops, outreach events, and classroom visits, where counselors share information about available services and address topics such as stress management, test anxiety, and other mental health-related concerns. They also engage with students at various campus events by staffing informational tables. Counselors extend their support into the classroom by teaching Human Development (HD) courses, which emphasize mental health and student success topics such as self-esteem, stress management, learning strategies, personal relationships, motivation, assertiveness, and career exploration. These classes provide a structured and supportive environment for students to explore issues that are often discussed in individual counseling, but in a way that may feel more approachable due to the stigma surrounding one-on-one mental health services. In addition to working directly with students, counselors consult with faculty and staff to support students who may be experiencing emotional challenges. These consultations help equip college personnel with the psychological insight needed to better assist their students. The Counseling Center offers a full range of direct services, including individual counseling for personal, academic, career, and crisis-related concerns.
