Services Provided SPS provides short-term therapy for individuals, couples, family, and groups. Length of therapy is mutually decided by the student and the therapist. It has been shown that the quality of the relationship between client and therapist, not the length of therapy, is most important in allowing people to make desired changes in their lives. However, if you or your therapist feel that the issues you are addressing are more appropriate for longer term therapy, you will be assisted in finding a therapist in the community. These groups provide a safe, supportive environment within which members can work on difficult personal issues.
Groups begin early in the semester and are closed to new members once they begin.
Call SPS early in the semester if you are interested in joining a group. Other Services SPS loans audio tapes which may be helpful for some students. Confidentiality Everything you share with an SPS therapist is kept confidential, including the fact that you received therapy. The therapist has a legal obligation to report any suspected child or elder abuse. Therapists may discuss cases with their supervisor as part of their own learning process.
