What Can I Expect in Counseling?

Counseling aims to help you understand yourself better, become more effective in reaching your goals and, in the process, become more successful.  The counselor in Counseling Services is interested in your personal, academic, and intellectual growth.  Some students meet with their counselor on a weekly basis, some on a bi-weekly basis, and others at varying intervals. In these 50-minute sessions, you and your counselor talk about what is causing you distress currently and explore ways to understand and alleviate these concerns.


Our services are provided on a voluntary basis (students choose to come to counseling), and you need not be referred by anyone to participate in the counseling process.

Our counselor is a professional and an independently licensed counselor.

Initially you will meet with the counselor who will collect preliminary information about you and your concerns. You and the counselor will decide on a way to address your concerns. This may involve individual or group counseling, referral to a physician, or referral to a clinician outside the agency.
