Almost any concern that brings you into the center can be dealt with in group therapy as well or even better than it can in individual counseling. All the groups at the Counseling Center are designed to facilitate personal change by inviting self-exploration, by providing opportunities to give and receive feedback, and by providing information about your concerns. Many students find the idea of a counseling group intimidating, but students who have used group therapy report it is a safe setting to explore their concerns and that it has been immensely helpful to them. Most groups offered by the Counseling Center begin around the fifth week of each semester and meet weekly for one and a half hours. Prior to beginning a group, prospective members meet individually with the group co-facilitators for about 30 minutes to mutually determine if the group would sufficiently meet the student's needs and goals.
Groups are available to full and part-time students.
Though the types of groups offered may change each semester based on student need, some that have been offered in the past have addressed speech anxiety, eating disorders, chronic illness, and women's issues.
