Empowering Your Well-being

WWCC Counseling Services offers a range of mental health services, from individual and group counseling to referrals and resource connection.  Services are free and confidential for all enrolled students. We are here to help you navigate personal, social, educational, and mental health concerns that impact your academic success at WWCC.

Our goal is to help you improve coping and develop skills to achieve personal wellness and academic success in a safe and welcoming environment.

You may be referred to a community provider for long-term, specialized therapy options, hospitalization, and services that are outside the scope of assistance provided by our department.

Counselors hold master’s degrees in a behavioral health field and are credentialed through the Washington State Department of Health.

Confidentiality

Please take into consideration that confidentiality will be considered by the Counseling Service at every point but cannot be guaranteed when communicating with students by phone, email, or internet. We are attempting to provide the highest level of service to students under these difficult circumstances. Your understanding of the circumstances and the possible limits to confidentiality is implicit in your communication with the Counseling Service.

Information disclosed by the student during counseling is protected under confidentiality regulations of Washington law (RCW 18.225.100), but information may be released under the following exceptions as mandated by Washington law (RCW 18.225.105):

  1. With your written authorization for use and disclosure of information, or in the case of death or disability, the authorization of your personal representative.
  2. To any individual if the counselor reasonably believes that disclosure will avoid or minimize a serious, foreseeable or imminent risk to you or any other individual.
  3. When there is reasonable cause to believe that a child, dependent adult or vulnerable person is being or has been abused or neglected.
  4. When the student waives the privilege of confidentiality by bringing charges, complaints, lawsuit or dispute against the counselor.
  5. If the counselor receives a subpoena from the court to provide information. If this happens, only the minimum information necessary to satisfy the court’s order will be provided.
