What is Counseling?
Counseling is a process where people can explore issues of concern in a supportive, non-judgmental environment. Through counseling, individuals and families can learn how to enhance their relationships, develop unused resources more fully, and become better at helping themselves in their everyday lives.
At the WKU Talley Family Counseling Center (TFCC), individuals, couples and families are encouraged to talk freely, examine relationships, ask questions, and explore options. The TFCC strives to help individuals, couples and families cope with relationship issues and emotional concerns and deal more effectively with relationship and personal problems hindering their personal and interpersonal growth. The TFCC also provides programs for community outreach, family wellness, family education, and preventive programs.
Graduate interns work under the supervision of University faculty who are licensed mental health professionals. All services are offered on an individual, group, and/or relational basis, and subject to applicable laws and professional standards. The purpose of the TFCC is to provide mental health services to the WKU university community and local community members.
