CONNECT WITH A COUNSELOR
How on-campus counseling works
We start with brief individual counseling that focuses on short-term treatment goals in order to facilitate adjustment to college, improve functioning, and address acute symptoms blocking student success.
After the initial consultation, the counselor will determine if individual therapy is the best approach in addressing student concerns, or will recommend other resources. If individual therapy is recommended, we'll work to schedule further sessions.
Therapists intake and additional therapy sessions are between 45 and 60 minutes in length. Together, the student and their therapist will review the recommendations made during the initial assessment, set goals, and determine the approximate number of sessions that may be needed.
Therapy is a collaboration between the therapist and student to address problems actively. Progress depends on many factors, such as the complexity and duration of the problem, the motivation of the student to address these problems, and other life circumstances. While results cannot be guaranteed, most students find that they benefit from counseling.
