Reasons students seek counseling
Students come to the UCC with a variety of concerns. Although any personal issue can be discussed in therapy, students often consider therapy under the following circumstances:
-
They just need to talk with someone who can provide an objective viewpoint.
-
They feel an overwhelming and prolonged sense of sadness and/or helplessness.
-
Their emotional difficulties make it hard for them to function at their best day to day. (For example, they are unable to concentrate on assignments, and their class performance suffers as a result.)
-
Their actions are potentially harmful to themselves or others.
-
They are troubled by the emotional difficulties of family members or close friends.
-
They feel lonely, disconnected from others, or like they don’t fit in.
