When to Schedule an Appointment
Often students feel that their problem is not important enough, they don't want to bother someone else or they feel they should be able to handle their problems on their own. The staff at the Counseling Center feels differently we welcome any student no matter how big or small the problem, we encourage students to come and talk to us, and we really respect the courage it takes to reach out for support and call to make a first appointment. Counseling can be a useful and valuable resource and we encourage students to take advantage of this resource.
We provide counseling for a full range of problems. The Counseling Center is a place where students can come and get help with personal, emotional, psychological and family problems. Some students come for help with selfesteem or relationship issues, or when they are feeling anxious or depressed, when they are overwhelmed by school pressures, or when they have experienced some type of trauma.
