  • stress
  • anxiety
  • depression
  • anger
  • loneliness, guilt
  • low self-esteem
  • grief
  • performance anxiety
  • perfectionism
  • low motivation
  • identity development
  • gender / sexual orientation issues /adjustment
  • life transitions

Other issues may include effects of trauma, sexual assault, abuse, spirituality, body image, concerns with alcohol and other drugs, and healthy lifestyle choices.

In your first session, your counselor will help identify your immediate concerns and collaborate with you on a treatment plan tailored to meet your needs. If it is determined that your needs are greater than what Counseling Services has the capacity to provide we will work with you on getting connected to a community provider who can more adequately support you.
