Do international students really seek counseling services?
Yes. Some multicultural or international students may be hesitant to come to counseling for several reasons. They may be concerned that their problem won’t be understood by a counselor or that their problem is not serious enough to merit a counselor’s time. They may feel uneasy about the language or cultural barrier, or uncomfortable sharing personal information with a person outside their family. We understand that this can be difficult.
