Unsure what to expect from your appointment with the Counseling Center? No worries! We encourage you to make an appointment with the counseling center to go over your concerns with a mental health professional and to discuss with them what resources might be best for you.
Common reasons students come to therapy, but not limited to:
- Lack of motivation
- Romantic relationship problems or breakups
- Stress management
- Problems with roommate, friends, or family
- Adjusting to college (homesickness or cultural differences)
- Exploring sexual or gender identity
- Sleep difficulties
- Substance use or concerns
- Loss of a loved one
- Sexual assault or harassment
- Loneliness and making friends
