Free Confidential Counseling
What will happen if I go to a counselor?
Exactly what happens when you see a counselor is in many ways determined by you. In your initial appointment, the counselor will get an idea of what happened and find out what you are looking for with therapy. Some students choose to go to only a few appointments to help them better function or help them through a really rough spot in their healing process and others choose to go for more extended therapy. You and your counselor work together to determine how often you see him/her as well as what direction the therapy takes. The University Counseling and Testing Center is also always available to you as long as you are a student. The important part is for you to know that counselors are available and want to help if you are ready to take that step.
What if I can't afford counseling?
Your student fees pay for the counseling center and appointments there require no extra fee. If you would rather see a counselor in the community, you may contact the Center for Community Counseling at 344-0620 to see if they have appointments available. Appointments there range from $7-$27, depending on financial need. There are also numerous other psychologists and counselors in the community. An advocate can also help you locate these types of community resources.
Does the Counseling Center offer support groups?
Yes. The counseling center tries to offer groups for survivors of sexual assault every year. If you would like to be involved in a support group with other survivors, you can contact the counseling center and let them know you are interested. You can also contact Sexual Assault Support Services or Womenspace for support groups if you want.
