Personal counseling is provided for individuals, families, and couples.
Counseling addresses the personal concerns of individuals, helping them to clarify values and feelings and to make more effective decisions about personal and academic goals. The center also sponsors small groups to help students develop new skills and abilities. These groups may focus on such areas as assertiveness, relationship skills, stress management, and self-esteem. The counseling center's staff includes psychologists, social workers, and counselors who are available by appointment. Counseling center staff members are also on call 24 hours a day to respond to psychological emergencies.
