**What is a professional College counselor?**
A College Counselor helps students to understand and deal with social, behavioral, personal, and academic problems. College Counselor emphasizes preventive and developmental counseling to enhance students' personal, social, and academic growth and to provide students with life skills needed to deal with problems. College Counselor provides special services, including alcohol and drug prevention programs and conflict resolution classes. College Counselor interacts with students individually, in small groups, or as an entire class. The main goal of a College Counselor is to help young people find their way during a difficult transition time that college can be. Some of the tools that Counselors  use are interviews, counseling sessions, interest and aptitude assessment tests, and other methods to evaluate and advise students. They also operate career information centers and career education programs. Often, counselors work with students who have academic and social development problems or other special needs.
