With what kinds of concerns do the counselors help students?
Students seek out counseling for a number of reasons. Some students may have issues related to their normal development, such as identity or relationship concerns. Others are dealing with more specific concerns, such as depression, anxiety, stress, childhood or adult trauma, grieving and loss, substance abuse, and/or eating disorders or body-image concerns. Some students aren’t sure what the problem might be. They just know they are experiencing difficulty studying, concentrating, eating, sleeping, adjusting, or getting along with others. A counselor can help a student sort out what might be going on and suggest ways he/she might get back on track.
