There are many issues that are appropriate to take up with the Counseling Center: personal or emotional concerns, persistent difficulties in studying, bothersome moods, relationship problems or simply a wish to know more about oneself. No commitment is involved in an initial meeting, and sitting down with one of us is often the best way to decide if counseling is right in your particular situation. Our therapists are trained in areas of counseling, psychology, marriage and family therapy and career development.

We have found that weekly sessions are ordinarily most practical and helpful. Some students get what they need in one or two sessions; other choose to continue longer. Although individual work is our primary focus, we are glad to consider other situations, such as meeting with a couple or with a group. If the difficulty in question is beyond our resources (for instance, an academic difficulty that could best be helped by tutoring or a problem that deserves more intensive therapy than we can provide), then we can refer you to other sources or help.
