There are many kinds of referrals. The best one is the one to which the student will respond. Depending on the situation, have the student consider friends, clergy and other religious, family members, community agencies, and campus offices. If you can, try to prepare the student for what to expect if he or she takes your suggestion. Tell the student what you know about the referral person or service.
All services are free to currently enrolled students.
During the first appointment, the counselor begins an assessment of the student's needs and the ways in which Psychological Services might be able to help. Students need to know that all services at Psychological Services are confidential by law . If the student and counselor agree that individual counseling is appropriate, the student can expect to be referred to the most appropriate and available counselor for weekly appointments. Appointments last for approximately 45 minutes. Generally, students meet with their counselor anywhere from two to 10 sessions.
