Your counselor will discuss confidentiality and its limits and explain the counseling relationship. Then your counselor will help you talk about the main concern that brought you to the Counseling Center. You and your counselor will determine whether you want or need to return for more sessions. The number of sessions varies among individuals. Many students visit the Counseling Center because they want to learn more about themselves in the new life situations they are encountering.
Some students come because they want to improve their studies or are unsure about their major.
Others come because they have difficult decisions to make, they are dealing with an unhappy turn of events in their lives, they have a general feeling that they could be getting more out of life, or they want to explore their relationship to the people and the world around them. Students also come for counseling because they feel something is bothering them but they do not know what it is and they do not know how to talk about it. I wish I had more confidence in myself. I'm confused about what I am going to do after I graduate. I don't seem to be doing very well in my relationships with people.
