Individual Counseling

Sometimes, students need support to help sort through feelings, expectations, and alternatives that arise from academic or personal challenges of the college experience. The Counseling Center is not a place where ready-made answers or decisions are handed out. Rather, it is a place where students and counselors discuss concerns, and, in a safe, undemanding setting, work out a plan to deal with them. Some students resolve their concerns in one session, while others continue on a regular basis for several weeks.

Individual counseling provides an opportunity to explore any personal problem or concern. Often students' concerns involve issues related to:

• relationships
• identity
• self-esteem and self-confidence
• sexuality
• family
• depression
• anxiety
• victimization
• grief and loss
• socialization and isolation
• food and body image
• chemical use

Several of our therapists are also trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reporcessing (EMDR). Click here for further information on these treatment approaches.
