• College CounselingThe goal of Visitation's counseling program is to help each student develop into a successful, well-adjusted, and compassionate young woman who is capable of making thoughtful, wise decisions about her life. Our counselors encourage and support students through both times of triumph and trouble, and are trained to direct students or their families to appropriate professionals, if needed, for help with their academic or personal lives.The counseling department has been supporting a concept of “Life Balance” using the ideas of the Life Balance Pyramid for our teachers, staff, administrators and students. The concept is based on a Lifelong Foundation of prayer, personal values, life choices and goals. The Life Balance Pyramid looks at the emotional well-being, social connections and daily supportive activities in a person’s life. The daily supportive activities encouraged are physical activities, plenty of rest, and a healthy diet. Plus, developing a sense of fulfillment from developing skills in special interests such as sports, hobbies, music, theater and fine arts. The use of the Life Balance Pyramid has been useful as a tool to support all of the Visitation community in developing a sense of well-being and satisfaction in their life.
