Counseling and Testing Center

If one or more of the following statements describe you, you may benefit from counseling: 

• I am anxious, worried, or nervous much of the time. 
• My sleeping or eating patterns are disturbed or have changed. 
• My moods change rapidly. I often feel like crying. 
• My relationships with other people often feel difficult. 
• I feel confused and have difficulty making decisions. 
• I can't decide on a major or career. 
• I feel that I am not functioning effectively in an important area of my life. 
• I am going through a significant change in my life. 
• I am experiencing difficulties due to the use of substances or behaviors that I am not able to manage. 
• I am curious to know more about myself and my relationships.

The three most common reasons people seek counseling: 

1. They are experiencing a crisis due to the loss of a relationship, the experience of overwhelm at the death of a loved one, stress overload, or family problems. 
2. Chronic stress such as experienced by anxiety, depression, harmful relationships, eating disorders, drug abuse, or self-harming behaviors. 
3. Desire for growth through increased self-confidence, enriched personal relationships, or enhanced self-understanding.
