Counseling and Consultation

Individual and Couples Counseling

C&C provides several forms of counseling including individual, couples, and group. Individual counseling involves meeting with a counselor for approximately 45-50 minutes. You and your counselor determine how frequently both of you will meet. It is common for students to meet with a counselor weekly, but many meet every other week or even once a month. You will also use this time to estimate the number of sessions you may need to assist you. You will review confidentiality and its limits as well as recount for her/him how you’re hoping to benefit from therapy. Couples therapy is similar to individual therapy in that two people will meet with a counselor on a regular basis for a similar amount of time. For a couple to be eligible for couples counseling, at least one member of the couple must be a currently registered student.

To schedule an appointment for either individual or couples therapy persons must first participate in an initial assessment session called a Personal Consultation. The purpose of the Personal Consultation is to determine the best treatment approach given your presenting concerns.
