About the Counseling Center
Helping students cope with the challenges and stresses in their daily lives, the Counseling Center is a confidentia
l student-focused resource. Students grappling with a wide variety of challenges or questions make use of these counseling services every year. Among these challenges are depression, anxiety, problems in relationships, concerns about sexuality or sexual identity, alcohol and drug abuse, as well as issues of personal loss (death, divorce, or illness). Other issues are also dealt with at the Counseling Center, such as procrastination, lack of assertiveness, problems with eating or body image, and lack of motivation. The counseling staff consists of graduate level psychology interns and postdoctoral associates who work under the supervision of the director, a licensed clinical psychologist.
