This position requires a significant amount of analytical, technical, and creative thinking guided by policies and procedures, standards, and precedents from college, state, and national institutions. This includes the ability to make independent decisions in situations for which there is little precedent and the ability to diagnose mental health disorders under clinical supervision. Understanding of counseling theories and practices. Understanding of Federal and state laws related to counseling and higher education. Decisions typically are reviewed during clinical supervision for licensure.
Magnitude of Impact:&nbsp;Counselors provide comprehensive support services in the form of personal, academic, and career counseling as well as crisis management, follow up and outreach programming. Stress is believed to be the number one issue that causes college students to drop out of college. Licensed counselors provide thorough assessment and diagnosis of mental health issues, including those related to stress, and provide expert treatment and available resources. &nbsp;Counselors also provide comprehensive career decision-making services in the form of career counseling and career exploration. Academically, counselors assist students with navigating the complex landscape of higher education and provide practical and emotional support to academically struggling students. Through each of these services, students are given valuable tools to help them be successful and increase the retention and graduation rates at the college. The time frame of impact ranges from immediate (crisis intervention) to long-term (retention/graduation), depending on the nature of the services offered.&nbsp; If a problem should arise, the director of counseling would be called on to assist. If further assessment is warranted, community crisis services would be contacted for consultation.
Responsibility for Accuracy: If a Counselor did not possess job knowledge and skills to help students make informed decisions about personal, social, career, or academic areas, the student could be seriously harmed as well as the College.&nbsp; A lack of knowledge of crisis intervention techniques could in extreme instances result in the death of a student.&nbsp; Not being knowledgeable of program requirements and advising a student to register for inappropriate classes or misadvising about program/majors we offer would be errors with negative consequences. For verification purposes, we use consultation, documentation, and monthly reports to track services.
Judgement and Decisions:&nbsp;Counselors independently select the appropriate approach to address students’ academic or personal issues. Counselors must have the appropriate skill set to assess for crisis interventions and ability to make clinically appropriate recommendations for treatment. Counselors may consult with other members of the Counseling Services Department. Decisions typically are not reviewed before becoming effective. License-eligible clinicians must adhere to high standards regarding ethics and confidentiality as provided by the state board.
