MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELING FROM THE PRIVACY AND CONVENIENCE OF YOUR LAPTOP OR SMARTPHONE.

Enrolled students get eight (8) sessions FREE per academic year!

At MCC, we believe in developing and supporting the success of our students on both a personal and academic level, and we know that this all starts with your mental health and wellness.

Through our partnership with BetterMynd, students are now able to have live video-therapy sessions with a private counselor from the privacy and convenience of their laptops and smartphones. Costs associated with these sessions vary, dependent upon the fees of the counselor and referral/sponsorship of MCC.
