Personal Counseling
Personal counseling can help you navigate through times
of stress and/or overcome barriers to your success. It often
helps to discuss issues with someone who is objective and can
help you look at yourself from a new angle. Our approach is to
focus on your strengths and ehlp you to help yourself. Some of
the common issues for which students seek counseling include
stress/anxiety, increasing self-esteem, relationship or family
issues, loos and grief, a history of abuse, depression, etc. We take
the confidentiality of your contacts with us very seriously. Except
for the case of very extreme situations, both the content of
counseling sessions and the fact that a student has used our
services are kept strictly confidential.
