Scheduling an Appointment
To begin the counseling process students should contact the Center at x6882. You can assist this process by offering the student immediate use of your phone. The secretary will arrange for an intake appointment as soon as possible. Intake appointments are usually scheduled 2 to 5 days from the date of contact. If you or the student thinks the matter is urgent and needs immediate attention, the student can be seen for an emergency appointment that day.
Once a student has expressed their desire to receive counseling they will be asked to fill out two forms before they meet with their counselor. During the initial visit, which typically lasts 15-20 minutes, the counselor gathers basic information and provides students with a good clinical match for services based on their presenting issues.
If the student and the counselor agree that further counseling is appropriate, the student is referred to a Counseling Center staff member for individual counseling. Some students are referred to community resources for specialized or continued counseling. Others may leave the initial interview feeling able to handle their problems on their own. Students can always return to the Counseling Center if additional services would be useful.
