Service

Individual Counseling – Many kinds of issues and concerns can best and most comfortably be dealt with by working with a counselor on an individual basis. Individual counseling is an opportunity to talk confidentially with a counselor about personal concerns and to facilitate personal growth and decision-making. The counselor and student /staff work together to define and discuss personal issues and to reach mutually agreed upon goals. Sessions are generally arranged as per individual requirements. If needed, a referral to other service agencies will be made.
