FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why would I need Counseling? College life can be very rewarding, but also stressful. There are often many life stressors that college students encounter (e.g., moving, change in financial situation, new found independence, balancing demands of parenting/school/work. If you are beginning to feel “stressed” or overwhelmed, then make an appointment to talk with a counselor. Any information that you share with a counselor is confidential (i.e., this information cannot be shared with anyone without your written consent).

How can a counselor help me? Counselors are trained to assist students in identifying, understanding, and developing skills to solve your personal problems. One of the major goals is to provide you with skills so that you are more capable of solving future problems on your own.

What if I’m in a crisis? The Counseling Center is prepared to assist students who are in crisis (e.g., suicidal thoughts, anger management problems). However, the Counselors are not available 24 hours per day. As such, if there is a crisis during off hours, we recommend that you call the local crisis line (1-800-724-0461) or go to a local emergency room.
