Individual Counseling
Students may meet with a counselor on a one-on-one basis to work through concerns about self, feelings, thoughts, behaviors, and relationships that are problematic for them.
Group Counseling
Counseling in group offers a broad range of perspective, support, and relationships through interacting with peers and facilitators. Group generally increases a sense of belongingness and connectedness with other individuals.
