Personal Counseling can help you reflect on your thoughts and feelings and work through what is troubling you. Counseling is a collaborative process, which builds upon your strengths and is provided by a Licensed Counselor. Your values and choices will be respected and what you share is confidential (except in rare circumstances where safety is a concern) and privileged. By developing resiliency and new perspectives, you will be more able to return to focusing on your academic studies.
Services provided to you are: assessment, psychological counseling and referrals.
Although unique to each student, some of the issues addressed are:
- Adjustment to college
- Stress
- Identity concerns
- Relationship issues
- Persistent sadness or depression
- Feelings of anxiety or test-anxiety
- Concerns about alcohol or substance-use
- Referrals to community resources or on-campus support
