Short Term Counseling

If your initial intake assessment indicates that you would likely benefit from short-term counseling within our agency, you will meet with a counselor from one to five times to resolve issues of importance to you. Students who benefit from short-term individual counseling are often encouraged to consider participation in group therapy, support groups, and/or seek other community resources after completing individual work. While many students complete individual short-term counseling at Counseling Services feeling that their concerns have been reasonably resolved, others may have a sufficiently positive and productive counseling experience that they wish to continue counseling with another therapist in the community. Students interested in addressing their concerns more fully, or at greater length following the termination of short-term counseling should request appropriate community referrals from their Counseling Services counselor. Your counselor will work closely with you to identify the most appropriate referrals given your circumstances, personal resources, and individual needs
