Counseling Services
- You must be a current 海角论坛 student and reside in the states of Kansas or Missouri.
- Please arrive 30 minutes before your scheduled Initial Consultation appointment in to complete the required paperwork in advance.
- You will meet with a mental health professional for approximately 25 to 30 minutes to discuss what has brought you to counseling and to determine what may be most helpful as you move forward.
- During the Initial Consultation appointment, the counselor may ask questions that do not seem directly related to your initial concern. Your answers to these questions provide important information that helps your counselor to get the “big picture” of how you are doing.
The counselor who meets with you for your initial consultation appointment may recommend joining one of our groups or a workshop series, participating in individual or relationship counseling or connecting with campus and community resources. If you pursue the recommended services here at our agency, you may or may not be matched with the mental health professional you spoke with during your initial consultation appointment.
