Counseling Services

At times, life gets in the way of normal change making it more difficult to deal with the typical college challenges. The loss of someone close, illness, or high levels of stress are only a few of the precipitants to symptoms of anxiety and depression. Anxiety and depression are experienced in higher levels among college students than among other groups. The changes students experience in college are thought to be a major factor. Learning to manage change and its stress is a large part of controlling anxiety and depression. Having a trained counselor to help in this process is important.

Individual Counseling
In this type of counseling you meet individually with the counselor. Initially, many students prefer this type of counseling because of confidentiality concerns.

Workshops and Groups
Workshops and groups are great ways to focus on topics such as stress management, assertiveness, appropriate expression of anger, relationships, and choosing a career. Workshops usually meet once or twice, while groups meet more often. Workshops and groups allow you to talk with others who are experiencing similar issues. They also provide an opportunity to explore different solutions to problems you may be facing.

Referral Services
When necessary, the counseling office will refer students for services not available through the college. This may include medication to help manage depression, anxiety or other problems; assessment services not available through the college; or other services not currently available.
