If you are concerned about someone you know
you can:
1. Encourage them to come see us.
Sometimes it helps to introduce someone to us through our
website. You could also offer your support by walking with them
to our office and waiting while they attend an intake
appointment.
2. You can also meet with one of us
to discuss how to reach out to your friend and talk to them
about counseling. One possibility may be the sharing of a
brochure provided to you by one of our counselors. Our office
has an extensive selection of brochures on important topics
(e.g. eating disorders, depression, test anxiety, etc.).
Sometimes sharing a brochure with the student you are concerned
about will open up a conversation about the problem.

On or before your first
appointment you will be asked to fill out a simple intake form.
It will have contact information, questions about your
background and your current concerns. In your first session you and your counselor will
discuss what brings you to counseling, as well as the
information on your intake form. You will review the
confidentiality policy. You and your counselor will then talk
about counseling. If you decide to continue, you will be
assigned a counselor, depending on the best match for scheduling
and expertise of the counselor.
