At 个人心理咨询, we provide short-term individual therapy, and 会话 are typically 45-50 minutes in length. This is a model for mental health services in which the therapist and the 学生 work together collaboratively in order to set and attain 目标. Brief therapy 目标 are typically specific, measurable, and attainable 目标 aimed at helping the 学生 deal more effectively with psychological/interpersonal difficulties and life stressors that may impede their academic and personal progress. Students who access our services typically find that their needs are met within 3-4 会话.

Our mental health counseling services are not intended to provide long-term care or psychiatric supervision (treatment that includes psychiatric medication), as there is no psychiatrist on staff. Students requiring long-term mental health needs will be referred to off-campus services through our case management services.

的re are times in which brief therapy may not be the best fit for the needs of a 学生. A 学生 may need a specialist to work with a specific diagnosis, their needs may be better suited for long-term treatment or they might prefer to meet with a therapist outside of PCC. In these cases, we work with 学生s to connect them to resources outside our center. We have a staff member whose has time and expertise specifically dedicated to this work. 

Group therapy can be a wonderful way in which people connect with others with similar experiences and 目标, and use the space to work on those 目标 together.

At this time, 个人心理咨询 is not offering group therapy services. 一旦这个 service is available, the website will be updated.
