Appointments typically last 45 minutes and are scheduled on a weekly basis. You and your counselor will decide how many weeks you will meet. However, you will decide what will be discussed in your sessions. Group counseling involves meeting with two or more other individuals and one or two therapists. Meetings are typically 60-90 minutes in length and are scheduled weekly.
Some groups meet for a predetermined number of weeks, while others are open-ended.
Many groups are organized around a specific topic, such as sobriety issues or women's concerns. Some groups, however, are more open and exploratory. Your interest in group counseling can be discussed with a counselor in order to select the group that will be most helpful and appropriate for you. Couples counseling can be helpful when two people feel caught in troubling interpersonal patterns. One person in the couple must be an actively enrolled Roosevelt student in order for the two to seek couples counseling in the Counseling Center.
