Let's Talk Program

You’re seen on a first‑come, first‑served basis. If the counselor is already meeting with another student, you may need to wait a bit. 

When it’s your turn, you’ll have a private, one‑on‑one conversation. The counselor will listen, offer support, share perspective and point you toward helpful resources. There’s no pressure — you can share as much or as little as you’d like.

Let’s Talk is meant to be brief and informal. It’s a space for quick check‑ins and conversations, not ongoing counseling. 

Personal counseling at RCC, on the other hand, includes regular, scheduled appointments (usually 45–50 minutes) and focuses on longer‑term support.

Let’s Talk is open to all currently-enrolled students and RCC staff. It may be especially helpful if: 

• You’re not sure about counseling but want a counselor’s perspective. 
• You’ve never talked with a counselor before and want to see what it’s like. 
• You have a specific concern and want help thinking it through. 
• You want to learn what campus resources are available and how to use them. 
• You’re a staff member looking for guidance on how to support a student. 
• You’re a staff member dealing with personal challenges and want help exploring options and resources. 

Yes, conversations are confidential, with a few very rare exceptions. Counselors may need to share information if there’s an immediate risk of harm to you or someone else, or if abuse of a minor, elderly person or someone unable to protect themselves is involved, as required by law. 

Counselors keep brief notes, which may be shared only in emergencies, for referrals within RCC Counseling or if required by a court order. 

We don’t want anything to stand in the way of you getting support. If you have questions or concerns about confidentiality, you’re encouraged to talk about them directly with a Let’s Talk counselor.
