What types of problems are commonly encountered by the counselors?
Students come to the counseling center with a range of problems. Many have issues related to their normal development, such as identity or relationship issues. Others are dealing with more specific psychological issues such as depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, bereavement, substance abuse, or eating and body image issues. Some students aren’t sure what the problem might be—they just know they are having a hard time studying, eating, sleeping, or otherwise functioning. A counselor can help students sort out what’s wrong in order to help get students back on track.
