National Alliance of Mental Illness (NAMI)

Counseling is a psychotherapeutic service whereby 鈥渘ormal鈥� everyday people receive help with 鈥渘ormal鈥� everyday problems.听The basic premise of counseling is that the person seeking help possesses within himself or herself the resources to solve the problem. By utilizing their skills and creating a special nonjudgmental atmosphere, the counselor is able to facilitate this process. Counseling is:

• Psychoeducational.听The counseling process involves learning about self, origins of maladaptive behavior, options for changing behavior, interpersonal and intrapersonal competencies and options for change.
• Confidential.听The content of counseling sessions as well as information about clients who seek counseling is kept strictly confidential. The only limits to confidentiality are an immediate and severe threat to the life of oneself or others.
• Solution-focused.听Rather than focusing on the past, counseling concentrates on present behavior and the facilitation of adaptive processes. The goals for the process are concrete and measurable.
• Brief.听Unlike psychotherapy, most counseling processes are short term.

All people face difficulties during their lives, you as a college student are no different. There鈥檚 nothing wrong with asking for help. So, what are you waiting for?

College is a very unique time in a person鈥檚 life. Some students are very young and away from home for the first time. Other students may be going back to school with the responsibility of a family to start a new career. No matter their reason for being in college, the lessons learned and obstacles overcome during their college years can provide a wonderful opportunity for emotional growth and maturity. However, these lessons and obstacles can also result in negative consequences such as overwhelming stress, psychological problems, and academic difficulties that affect the performance of the student. Counseling services are designed to assist students with addressing the difficulties that they encounter during these years and to promote greater overall wellness within the student population.

Students come to counseling with many concerns. Here are a few examples:

• Lifestyle Adjustments:听homesickness, making friends, time management/procrastination, cultural adaptation
• Personal Identity:听self-esteem/independence, decision making, anxiety/stress, questioning sexual identity
• Relationships:听parents, friends, roommates, boyfriends, girlfriends, unhealthy relationships
• Academics:听school work/grades, need to withdraw from school, performance anxiety
• Depression:听chronic depression, ups and downs, family concerns

Health and Wellness:听binge drinking, body image, unhealthy eating patterns, STDs, sexual assault

People cannot change.

FACT:听Important changes often take time and energy in order to occur. Although many people feel some relief and improved mood after only a couple of sessions, counseling will not provide a quick fix to your problems. Counseling can help you work toward meaningful life change over the long term, in addition to helping you manage current difficulties more effectively.
听

I must have severe problems to see the counselor.

FACT:听Seeing a counselor does not mean that you are mentally ill or "crazy." In addition to addressing more serious emotional problems, counseling can help with: life transitions adjusting to new surroundings difficulty juggling school, work, family, and other responsibilities academic problems, difficulty in test-taking and/or test anxiety struggles with self-esteem, communication, or assertiveness relationship problems

I am the only one who feels the way I do.

FACT:听While each person presents to counseling with their own unique concerns, many of those concerns are similar to their peers.

My mental health has nothing to do with my academic performance, my relationships, social skills, and friendships.

FACT:听Mental health affects all aspects of our lives and daily functioning.

Counselors 鈥渇ix鈥� problems

FACT:听Counseling is not a quick cure for your problems. The counselor is there to help you explore your feelings, thoughts, and concerns; to examine your options; and to assist you in achieving the goals you have set.

Services include individual therapy, consultant and referral services, and outreach programming.

.

Appointments last approximately 45 minutes. Sessions are limited to a maximum of 4-6 sessions this semester. If a longer-term therapy experience or more intensive treatment is desired or clinically-indicated, then a referral to a private therapist or community service will be made as early as possible.

In order to be fair to all students and ensure access and availability to the counselor, there will be a no show fee of $20. Students who make an appointment and do not show and do not cancel 24 hours in advance will be charged a $20 no show fee.

All information within the counseling treatment is confidential. Information may only be disclosed with the student鈥檚 written permission. A student under the age of 18 must have parental consent to seek counseling services.

Confidentiality does not apply to the following situations:

• Threat to self
• Threat to others

Reported or suspected physical or sexual abuse of a child (under age 18), disabled adult, or the elderly

No. Counseling records are separate from a student鈥檚 academic record. Counseling records are kept by the Counseling Office for a minimum of 7 years and are then destroyed.

In a life threatening emergency call 911 immediately. Then call Campus Police at (478) 960-7969 or (478) 757-5145.

For non-life threatening urgent matters听during normal business hours (Monday鈥擣riday, 8:30am鈥�5:00pm), students may walk-in or call Student Affairs main office at (478) 757-5214. After hours and on holidays and weekends, students should call 91抖阴 Campus Police at (478) 960-7969 or (478) 757-5145.

If one of these services is required, students will be provided assistance with the referral process. Please be aware that these services generally involve a fee. In some cases, health insurance may cover some of the costs. Referrals will be made as necessary.
