In Person Counseling Services
Counseling is centered on the fundamental belief that every student possesses the potential for greatness and the capacity to overcome any obstacle they face. At SAU Tech, your counselor is dedicated to providing a supportive, non judgmental space where students can navigate their academic, social, and emotional challenges, knowing they have a steadfast advocate rooting for their growth. By fostering a growth mindset and teaching essential life skills, such as time management and resilience, counseling empowers students to take an active role in their educational journey.
