FVTC Counseling Services

Counseling services are free and available for all current students, offering both in-person and virtual support to assist with issues that impact overall well-being.

Your counselor understands that there are pressures and challenges faced while in college – not all of them academic. Through counseling, current students can confidentially share problems in a safe and supportive space.

Counselors can help with:

  • Sharing ways to manage stress, anxiety and depression
  • Assist in improving problem-solving and coping skills
  • Trauma based services 
  • Helping identify strengths and sources of support
  • Offering a different perspective
  • Providing a safe place to talk and have someone who will listen
  • Linking students to school and community resources

Students needing immediate assistance can walk-in during office hours. Virtual appointments are also available.

  • Monday through Thursday – 8 a.m.-6 p.m., Fridays 8 a.m.-4 p.m. (Summer hours may vary)  
  • Contact FVTC’s Counseling & Advising Services at 920-735-5696 to make an appointment
  • If you are in a medical, life-threatening situation, please call 9-1-1

Substance Use Disorder Consultation & Counseling

The College provides individual counseling specific to alcohol and other drug use to students and staff. 

Issues include:

  • Alcohol and substance abuse screening
  • Relapse prevention services
  • Outpatient support

Students requiring court ordered or mandated counseling will be referred to community providers for services. 

Students requiring a higher level of care that may include compliance monitoring, intensive outpatient programming, partial hospitalization, or medically assisted detox treatment will be referred to community resources. 

The cost of services provided outside the College by community providers will be the responsibility of the student.
