Individual, Couples, and Group Counseling
The social, emotional, and academic concerns that occur occasionally in everyone's life can generate conflicts and questions. Such concerns can make it difficult for a person to function in a satisfying manner. Concerns about poor grades, career indecision, interpersonal relationships, depression, feelings of inadequacy, anxiety, loneliness, sexual concerns, and conflicts related to one's family, marriage, or relationships are difficulties that students may encounter.
The staff at the Counseling and Consultation Service provide an atmosphere where personal concerns of any type can be examined and discussed freely and confidentially. Such an atmosphere increases the chances that problems and conflicts will be resolved. Through the counseling process, you may come to see yourself and others in a different light, learn how to change self-defeating habits and attitudes, and increase your sensitivity to others.
Most individuals find therapy beneficial in making positive changes in thoughts, feeling, and behaviors. Occasionally people feel that therapy does not help. In some rare instances, people feel that therapy makes a situation worse. Even the most successful therapy may involve remembering unpleasant events, becoming aware of certain thoughts, or experiencing strong emotions. Therapy may also impact relationships with significant others. We encourage you to share any concerns you may have about the therapy process with your therapist so that she/he may respond to these concerns
The format for personal counseling can include:
-
Meeting on an individual basis.
-
Meeting as a couple or a family.
-
Participating in counseling groups or workshops facilitated by qualified leaders with other students who have similar concerns.
-
Participating in workshops on academic effectiveness skills, stress management, self-esteem, and career planning.
