Anytime!Why do students need counseling?
Counseling is a collaborative process and a choice. The professional relationship between you and your counselor, which is fostered through counseling, is key to your success. Individual therapy gives you a safe space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and concerns. Individual therapy focuses solely on you. This allows for a deeper understanding of the issues and more time for developing coping strategies to help you handle difficult situations. The goal of counseling is to inspire change and improve the quality of life through self-awareness and self-exploration.
