Relationship Counseling If you are experiencing problems in a relationship, working together with a counselor can help you learn how to communicate more effectively, solve conflicts, and develop a more mutually satisfying relationship. We counsel any set of individuals, including roommates, parents and children, gay and lesbian couples, dating couples, couples living together, and married couples. We use brief, goal-focused counseling methods and work with students for up to eight sessions. Using these methods, we find that many personal issues can be addressed effectively in a brief period. Individuals wishing for more extensive services have the option of joining one of our groups or receiving a referral to an appropriate community resource.
All sessions are private and confidential.
If further assessment and medications are felt to be appropriate, a referral to the Psychiatry Team may be made. Psychiatric Services staff consists of Psychiatrists and Psychiatric Nurses. Multicultural Counseling Counselors skilled in cross-cultural counseling are available to meet the needs of international students, students of diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds, and gay, bisexual, lesbian, and transgendered students. Services include workshops, groups, individual and couple counseling, and departmental consultation. Performance Enhancement Counselors help students deal with psychological issues that might be interfering with their academic performance.
