From mid-term on, our service is very busy. We will schedule you as soon as possible, but the wait may be a week or so. We suggest that you call as soon as you feel you need help, rather than waiting until later. Generally, if you have been having problems for two weeks or more, you have tried to address your concerns without success and your problems interfere with your ability to function the way you would like to, then you should consider seeking help. Problems can include trouble with a relationship, not doing well in school, insomnia, moodiness, tension, irritability or loss of interest in friends or school.
Counseling is a process .
Some problems may resolve quickly while others may take more time. Counseling works best if you are able to identify and talk openly about your problems and your feelings. You and your counselor will work together to decide the best way for you to improve your situation. Medication can be very helpful for treating a number of problems. Psychiatrists are on staff at the Mental Health Service if you are in need of medication.
