Our Services
Our counseling services include:
Individual / Personal Counseling: Individual counseling consists of meeting one-on-one with a counselor for 45 to 50 minutes. Most individual appointments fall within the normal Monday to Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. business hours. Limited evening appointments are available during the fall and spring semesters. Academic, career, and personal concerns can all be addressed in individual counseling.
Group Counseling: Group counseling involves about 5 to 10 people meeting weekly, with one or two counselors serving as group leaders. Group leaders work to provide a safe, confidential environment in which group members are free to discuss their problems and concerns. Through the group process, members identify with others who are experiencing similar issues and increase self-awareness by obtaining genuine and honest feedback.
Couples Counseling: When concerns involve a relationship, particularly a committed relationship, sometimes the best approach is for two people to receive counseling together. This can provide an effective opportunity for couples to better understand each other and to learn more effective ways of communicating and nurturing the relationship.
