I'll ask to see someone else if I don't think the counselor's approach will work for me. You may be reluctant to go to the Counseling Center because you don't know what to expect. Unless you are in an immediate crisis, upon arrival, you are asked to fill out an intake form, which is a basic information form. This is kept as part of your confidential file. This is not true.
All sessions are free, private, and confidential.
Only with your written permission are we free to share information with anyone. You will meet with a member of the counseling staff for about an hour, or perhaps less. Some sessions require more, so we try to give you all the time you need. Usually you will see whoever has the first available appointment when the call is made. However, you are free to request to speak with a specific member of the staff, if you wish.
