College students experience a great many stresses in their lives - sorting out their identity, establishing and maintaining important relationships, coping with anxiety and depression, working on changing relationships with parents and other family members, dealing with losses, handling new academic demands. Counseling is the chance to learn how to resolve personal issues that are confusing or upsetting, talk with someone not personally involved in the situation who can give feedback from a different perspective, and learn new ways of coping that can help now and in the future. To help with these tasks, the Bloomfield College Personal Counseling Office provides a variety of psychological counseling services for students.
Services are free, and confidential .

First, you will have a chance to describe why you are seeking counseling, and why you chose this particular time to do so. Also of interest will be things like how long you have been troubled by this problem, what you have tried in the past to solve it, whether it resembles problems you have had in the past, something about your family background, and other possible areas of concern like a history of abuse, substance use, and general health.
