Counseling
SMCC has partnered with BetterMynd to provide confidential, online counseling services to our students from a diverse network of licensed mental health therapists. Once students are registered at SMCC, they will be provided with information on how to register and set up their account through BetterMynd. From there, students can find a therapist through the BetterMynd network of counselors and make appointments.
