HOW DO I MAKE AN APPOINTMENT?
STAFFThrough counseling, you have
an opportunity to talk to a trained professional who is objective.
You can learn how to resolve problems that confuse or upset you
by discussing your concerns and feelings.
In counseling, you can understand what is happening, and learn
new coping skills and ways of looking at situations so that you can
solve possible future problems and can be guided in making more effective
decisions. To maximize
the benefits of counseling, it is helpful to recognize that a problem
exists and that openness in expressing your problems and feelings will
go a long way in helping to improve the situation. Student Counseling Services offers individual counseling for personal, family or relationship concerns. Referrals, including psychiatric consultation, can be made when appropriate. Academic counseling and career counseling, including assessments of your interests, values, abilities and personality factors, is also available. All services are free and confidential. We hold in the strictest confidence information about whether you have seen us voluntarily and what is discussed. NO information is released without your permission. We do not retain a record of your contact with us on permanent college records or transcripts. Occasionally, we offer structured workshops which include
such topics as academic effectiveness training, coping with stress,
and test anxiety. Staff
members are available to consult with individuals and groups in the
college community, including resident halls, fraternities and sororities. Consultation
may be about a person whose behavior concerns you or about improving
the effectiveness of a campus service or group. Ulifeline is a resource that all students can access for information about mental illness, drugs, suicide, or how to help a friend.

in Jacobus Hall. You can also contact Dr. Terence Hannigan at extension
5177. We will schedule an appointment at your convenience. During your initial interview you and your counselor will explore your decision to begin counseling and will discuss your concerns -- how long you’ve had them, your attempts to deal with them, and your feelings and thoughts about them.
