Counseling Services

Staff members provide confidential assessment and brief counseling/therapy for students whose concerns range from the normal challenges of everyday life to more disruptive psychological concerns.

Some students come just to consult about how to help a friend or family member. Any problem that is troubling a student is an appropriate one to talk over with a counselor.

Some of the concerns that students discuss include:

  • Family, friend and partner relationships
  • Academic performance
  • Self-esteem
  • Stress
  • Depression
  • Eating and body image concerns
  • Loss of an important relationship
  • Illness or death of a loved one
  • Sexual orientation
  • Sexual assault and violence
  • Race, ethnicity, nationality, or other cultural identity
  • Gender identity
