Services
Screening for Counseling Service
When a student uses our screening for counseling service, they are not making a commitment beyond that one session. The screening for counseling service provides an opportunity for a student to discuss what counseling entails and to determine if this would be beneficial. If the screening counselor recommends individual or group counseling at the Counseling Center, the student would be assigned a therapist and would generally meet on a weekly basis for a period of time that is mutually agreed upon.
- Student can phone the Counseling Center at x2426 requesting to be scheduled for an available appointment time.
- The student is informed about the next available screening for counseling appointment and invited to make an appointment then.
- All urgent situations will be seen same day.

Individual Counseling
Staff members can help students explore, understand, and work through problems on a one-to-one basis. Individual personal counseling can help students find alternatives, expand choices and overcome obstacles that interfere with personal development and a sense of well-being. The clarification and resolution of personal problems often facilitate a student's ability to concentrate, increase clarity regarding academic direction and career choice, and stabilize and enhance relationships.
Couples Counseling
Can help students learn how to communicate more effectively with a partner, resolve conflicts and develop a more mutually satisfying relationship.
Group Counseling
Group counseling provides a place to talk confidentially about your concerns. It allows you to share your concerns with other students who have similar issues while receiving support from group members and counselors. You also have the opportunity to learn about alternative ways of looking at personal problems. Lastly, you learn new ways of relating to others.
