What is Counseling?

Counseling involves a relationship betweenÌýa client and a counselorÌýwho has the training andÌýwillingness to help reach one's goals and succeed at Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ÊÓƵ. You can come to us when dealing with academic stress, roommate issues, anxiety, relationship questions or when you simply feel down about something.

How many sessions do I need?

The average number of sessions per student is between three and six meetings, but we do not have a set limit on the number of sessions a student may receive. We try to balance the demand for services with the severity of the issue so that we generally can see you for as long as needed.
