Who comes to counseling?
Students seek counseling for a variety of reasons. Some students come to college with a pre-existing mental health concern, others find themselves struggling with these issues while at school. Other students seek counseling to better understand the transition and adjustment to college, relationship issues, or family concerns.
What to expect in counseling
In the first session you and the counselor will discuss your concerns and goals, and the counselor will suggest some ways that counseling can benefit you. Depending on your needs and interests counseling can be a short or long term process. Also depending upon your needs and availability of local resources, the counselor may provide a referral for more suitable services in the community.
