Who comes for personal counseling and why?

Friends are great and it is important to have a support system to go to when you're having a difficult time. But friends usually have an opinion about what you should do.

Personal counseling offers a safe place to come and explore issues that are affecting you, get help figuring out what your options are, and come up with ideas about how to handle different situations. A personal counselor can provide objective feedback, offer some new ways to cope with situations, provide information about other resources, or just simply listen while you sort through an issue out loud.

What do students talk about in counseling? Roommate problems, homesickness, academic concerns, difficulty sleeping, relationship issues, and anxiety - these are just a few of the kinds of issues that students bring to our counselors. For more information right now about college student concerns go to www.campusblues.com.

Any information you share in your personal counseling sessions is confidential. That means no one has access to what you say in your sessions or even that you are coming to the Student Development & Counseling Center for counseling unless you give written permission for your counselor to share that information. Anyone working at the Student Development & Counseling Center abides by these guidelines, including our workstudy students.

Between 250 and 300 students take advantage of the personal counseling services available at the Student Development & Counseling Center each academic year. Counseling services are included in your tuition so there is no charge to you to come for counseling at the Student Development & Counseling Center. Personal counseling is available to full-time undergraduate students of Assumption. Call x 7409 for an appointment.
