Counseling
Counseling makes sense when you are having trouble coping with a stressful situation or solving a personal problem. It offers emotional support, new perspectives, and helps to consider possible solutions. So, if you are in a lot of distress, or feel overwhelmed by a problem, or find that you keep repeating the same mistakes, then you might consider seeking counseling.
More specifically, students often seek help with the following concerns:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Eating Disorders
- Substance Abuse
- Self-Esteem
- Communication Problems
- Relationship Issues
- Identity Development
- Family Conflict
- Procrastination
- Test Anxiety
- Difficulty Studying
- Career Counseling
- Time Management
- Crisis Situations
- Suicidal Thoughts
- Death of someone close
