In group counseling, students often have to be taught how to interact with people. Students can talk about whatever it is that concerns them. It gives people a new way to try and behave and a new way in trying to interact with other people. For students with overwhelming symptoms that keep them from functioning properly, psychiatric help is available. Dr. Thomas Morelli, the center's psychiatrist, can prescribe medication, and refers students to other doctors, neurologists or general practitioners.
Students are welcome to drop by the office and schedule an intake appointment.
Staff members are assigned based on the student's discretion. The department's staff consists of three interns, four psychologists, one psychiatrist and four practicum students, who are working on their Ph.Ds. For more information call the center at 956-7927.
