Initial Appointments are a good fit for students who believe that their mental health concerns can be addressed via brief counseling services, with a limited number of Follow-Up Appointments. These appointments are scheduled for 50 minutes. 

Single Solution-Focused Appointments are a good fit for students who believe that a one-time counseling appointment could help with an immediate concern. The focus is on identifying the student’s problem and collaborating with them on possible solutions. These appointments are scheduled for 50 minutes. 

Relational counseling is available to unmarried and currently enrolled students. It is a good fit for those who would like to receive help with their relationship. To get started, only one of the individuals needs to attend a Triage Appointment.

After the Triage Appointment, both students can be scheduled with a clinician for a Couples Initial Appointment to begin brief therapy. These appointments are scheduled for 50 minutes. 

We see group counseling as a “laboratory� to experiment with new ways of being in the world and with others. Group members are encouraged to participate at their own pace, and verbal participation is not required, though members generally find that they get out of group what they put into it. Over time, members are encouraged to push themselves and take risks to practice new ways of thinking and behaving. Groups generally run about 90 minutes, include four to eight students, and are co-led by two clinicians.

If you are interested in participating in a workshop, call or visit SCAPS.

• UNDERSTANDING SELF AND OTHERS: Interpersonal process groups provide opportunities for students to discuss concerns related to their academic, social, and emotional lives. These weekly groups focus on the interactions among group members, offering students the chance to examine their relationships, explore their communication styles, and give and receive feedback. Participation can deepen self-awareness and improve how students relate to others. 
• DBT-INFORMED SKILLS GROUP: This is a weekly group based on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills: mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Two trained clinicians teach group members methods to better manage and understand their emotions, improve their relationships, and cope with challenging situations. The structured and supportive group is designed to be a collaborative environment aimed at enhancing emotional well-being and personal growth. 

This is a 50-minute, on-demand skills-based workshop designed to support students in understanding, regulating, and expressing anger in healthy, real-world ways. Students interested in learning these skills should call us or discuss it with their individual clinician. 

We consult with students who are curious about counseling and want to learn more about what to expect from the therapy process. To arrange a consultation, visit one of our offices or call us. 

“Let’s Talkâ€� Consultations give students a chance to speak informally with a therapist outside of the counseling center. No appointment is necessary.
