Personal Counseling
Short-term and focused personal counseling
A counselor works with you to develop a treatment plan that will best meet your needs based on the nature of the concerns presented. Because each student has different needs, the number of visits varies from person to person--typically six to eight sessions. Some students may benefit from seeing a counselor just one or two times and others may need to see a counselor over a longer period of time.
If you would benefit from longer-term services, you may be given a referral to other Western 九一麻豆制片厂 University or community care providers.
