会发生什么
All currently-enrolled students can utilize 咨询服务. 填好后 申请表, you will be contacted to schedule a 30-minute assessment. 在那里, you'll meet with one of our counselors to determine your needs and make a plan for moving forward.
After the initial 30-minute session, you will receive up to 8 free sessions per academic year—most students end up using 5-6. Your counselor will take time to get to know you, understand what you want out of counseling, and create a plan with you to help resolve the issue that brought you in.
Your counselor may assign you tasks to complete between appointments or ask you questions to think about. You and your counselor will track your progress during your time in counseling.

Services are open to all students on campus, whether you are an undergraduate student living on or off campus, 研究生, 或者一个在线学生.
Do I need a diagnosis to receive counseling?
No. We do provide additional support to individuals with existing mental health diagnoses, but our support services are very broad. 有时, students just need a neutral person to talk things through with, especially when they are away from home for the first time.
