Personal Counseling
Academic and Career Advising

COVID-19 UPDATE: Students’ overall success, health and well-being is imperative and of the utmost importance. Given the COVID-19 health and safety intervention measures that have been established, students may be dealing with heightened levels of stress, anxiety, uncertainty, and social isolation.  Learning ways of developing a new “normal” and learning to navigate through the school plan for virtual distance learning may also be extremely stressful and overwhelming. 

Any student who is in need of support and personal counseling, community resources, or has questions about the educational and attendance expectations at F.K. Marchman Technical College can contact Nicole Graziano, Certified School Counselor, by completing the request form or calling 727-774-1718.  Virtual counseling sessions and/or phone contacts can be scheduled to accommodate student needs.

Students who are in immediate crisis and experiencing suicidal thoughts, please immediately contact 911 and/or Suicide Prevention Lifeline at:
