在最初的30分钟之后, you will receive up to 8 free sessions per academic year—most students end up using 5-6. Your counselor will take time to get to know you, understand what you want out of counseling, and create a plan with you to help resolve the issue that brought you in.
Your counselor may assign you tasks to complete between appointments or ask you questions to think about. You and your counselor will track your progress during your time in counseling.
Services are open to all students on campus, whether you are an undergraduate student living on or off campus, 研究生, 或者一个在线学生.
