Like most colleges, Saint Mary's College Counseling Center is available to any student who wishes to discuss concerns in his or her life. There are many more reasons that lead people to seek help from counseling centers. At Saint Mary's, the process of counseling is a collaborative one. The counselors are trained to work with each student in a way that would be most helpful for the person's health and well being. Often times, people consider counseling not because of any one, easily articulated concern.
Counseling is a resource that many people utilize when they want help getting unstuck.
What to Expect The Saint Mary's Counseling Center feels strongly about working in a collaborative manner and as a result each decision about the counseling process will be discussed as sensitively and as openly as possible. They will take time in these first meetings to talk about counseling and will share what they feel would be the best way to proceed. If, after talking with your intake counselor, it is agreed that the Counseling Center would be beneficial, you can begin to make regular appointments. My concerns are too vague, trivial, disturbing, or embarrassing to talk about with a counselor. Regardless of your individual and possibly unique concerns, there are experienced, understanding counselors at Saint Mary's Counseling Center who will listen and are willing to help.
