Counseling Services is staffed by a team of mental health professionals, from various disciplines within the mental health field. Students sometimes experience problems that make their academic and personal lives at college more difficult than they need to be.
Students seek counseling for a variety of reasons.
While some students seek help when they are in a state of crisis, it is certainly not necessary to have a serious problem in order to see a counselor. Some students have severe problems, while others just need someone to talk things over. The process may involve only one visit or follow-up sessions. Other students may seek the services of a counselor to discuss a situation which involves the inappropriate behavior of a roommate, boyfriend, girlfriend, etc. It is generally accepted that in order for the counseling process to be effective it should be voluntary and initiated by the prospective client.
