Counseling

All CD students are assigned a counselor in their first semester at LaGuardia. Students will work with their assigned counselor throughout their time at the college. Counselors can help students:

adjust to college and a new academic environment;
understand the College's policies and procedures and the financial aid system;
develop skills to meet new academic challenges, such as: assertiveness, communication, time management, stress management, test taking;
identify their interests and abilities and explore appropriate major and career options;
select courses for each semester;
clarify goals and plan for a career or transfer to a four-year college;
develop and implement strategies to overcome academic problems;
cope with personal problems that may affect functioning and academic performance, such as: family conflict, loss, loneliness, feelings of isolation, low self-esteem, learning difficulties, anxiety and depression, health concerns, and alcohol and drug use.

The counselors also often serve as advocates for students, referring them to other college services and community agencies when appropriate.

All CD counselors are experienced and trained professionals.
