Sometimes personal problems require more assistance than can be found within your own circle of support. Speaking to one of our counselors can often help to identify the problem, assist in developing more effective coping strategies, and increase knowledge of available and effective means of support. Examples of personal problems include:

  • Adjustment to college

  • Academic concerns

  • Stress management

  • Interpersonal relationships

  • Anxiety

  • Depression

  • Grief and loss

  • Sexual Assault

  • Eating concerns

  • Family conflict

  • Sexual orientation and/or identity concerns

  • Suicidal thoughts
