are four full-time therapists and one part-time therapist available.
These are highly trained, very experienced professionals who have
demonstrated expertise in working with the many issues affecting college students. They
are easy to
meet and they are verbally active in your sessions with them. There are no topics that are either “off-limits” or
unfamiliar to them. Whether
the issue is relationships, or drugs, or gender, or sexuality, or
depression, or mood swings, or . . . they (the therapists) are there to
help you deal effectively with your problem(s). |
