Counseling is talking through your concerns with a professional counselor. You describe any conflicts you are experiencing and explore questions, thoughts, and feelings that are important to you. The counselor listens and asks questions to help you more fully understand your concerns and to assist you in possibly responding differently to them. Individual counseling is available to currently enrolled, full-time Holy Cross students. Counseling begins with an initial assessment of your concerns.
Meetings usually last fifty minutes.
If you cannot attend a session, please cancel 24 hours ahead of time. This allows us to make that time available to another student. Students may discontinue counseling at any time, for any reason, as well as initiate counseling with a different staff member within the office. When ending counseling, discuss this with the person you have been meeting with, regardless of whether the ending takes place in the midst of or at the completion of counseling. All sessions with a psychologist are confidential.
