Whether you are just beginning your college journey, are well into your academic program, or are nearing graduation, there can be times when maintaining balanced mental health can be a challenge for students. Attending to mental health is a key element of being successful in meeting your goals. Counseling wants to be an ally to you, along your path to learn, grow, and succeed in completing your college degree.
All Nevada State College students have access to 5 free counseling appointments. They can be used any time between Fall semester and the end of Spring semester, as long as you are enrolled at the time you want to use your counseling sessions. Those enrolled for the Summer term, have access to 4 free sessions.
Your participation in counseling is private and confidential. In accordance with state and federal regulations under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), information about you is not released to anyone or any entity, including Nevada State College, faculty or staff, without your written permission. There are limitations to confidentiality, which include:
Privacy practices for minors (anyone under the age of 18) differ in some ways, and these will be discussed during your first appointment.
It is our goal to make counseling easy to access. All you have to do is email: counseling@nsc.flywheelstaging.com.
The counselor will receive your email, and will contact you regarding scheduling. Monday through Thursday counseling appointments, whether in-person or online, are with NSC’s Licensed Counselor, Annise Prewitt, MSW, LCSW, CCTP. She is delighted to work with any NSC students, who feel they could use extra support.
Location: On-campus appointments are held in Dawson, room 219A.
If you are under 18 years old, your parent/guardian will have to sign and date the Patient Registration forms, but everything should be filled out from your perspective as the student.
