Personal Counseling is a chance to talk over concerns with a person who can be objective and who can help you learn new skills and ways of looking at situations with new problem solving techniques. Counselors are non-judgmental, objective helpers. Counselors try to make you comfortable so that you can talk freely about your concerns. Counseling is about the everyday concerns of students as well as more serious problems on occasion. Initiating counseling and remaining in counseling is voluntary.
All counseling is confidential.
No information is released to anyone without written consent from you the client. If you feel uncertain about whether counseling is for you, we invite you to make an appointment for an introductory meeting and discuss your interests, concerns, or reservations with a counselor. There is no obligation to continue. Dr. Dunford is happy to review his own credentials and to explain the various approaches to problem solving that may be used. The Clinical Counseling Center is available to sponsor a variety of groups during each quarter if students express an interest in some problem area.
