Belhaven College seeks to meet the needs of students by fostering a warm environment of personal contact between students, faculty, and staff members. Additionally, a professional counselor is located on the second floor of the McCravey Triplett Student Center. Appointments may be scheduled directly with the Campus Counselor (968-8731). The first appointment is free; after the first visit, there is a nominal charge of $5.00 per session. The Campus Counselor is available during the Fall and Spring semesters. A short-term model of counseling (4-6 sessions) is used in order to best serve the greatest number of students. Students requiring more extensive counseling will be referred to services in the Jackson area.

Hello,
my name is Hart Wylie and I am the Campus Counselor at Belhaven College. I
grew up in Brandon, Mississippi with my parents and younger sister. I have
lived in Colorado and London and I love to go back to visit as often as I can.
I enjoy playing tennis and having dinner parties with my friends. I began
counseling after completing my Master of Arts degree in Marriage and Family
Therapy/Counseling at Reformed Theological Seminary. Prior to RTS, I received
my Bachelor's degree from Mississippi College and worked in student ministry for
several years.
As the Campus Counselor here at Belhaven, I am excited to be a part of such a special community. I view counseling as one way to love people who are hurting. In college, there are all sorts of reasons why a student could be hurting: depression, stress, anxiety, changes in their family, or relationship difficulties, to name a few. When I meet with people, my job is to listen, to provide support, to sit with them in their pain, and to help them see the change that is possible.
When I think about our world, I am aware of hundreds of images and noises that demand our time, attention, and energy. The norm for us is to be bombarded with so many things that we barely have time to breathe! Add to that the pressures of writing papers, keeping assignments straight, balancing time, learning how to manage money, and living with lots of new people, and it is easy to see how college students can quickly become overwhelmed! I am delighted to be a small part of the Belhaven campus and help students who are experiencing difficulties.
If you would like to speak with me, please call 601-968-8731 and leave a message; I will call you back to arrange for an appointment. I look forward to meeting you!
