How to Begin

Everyone occasionally has problems with life. College is a time of change and transitions which sometimes creates uncomfortable feelings or challenges us to confront past issues. Taking the step to talk with a professional may be a new experience, often the hardest part of counseling, but it is one that can be very rewarding.

Schedule an appointment. Call 419-434-4526 to set a time that is convenient for you. Most often you can be scheduled within a day or two of the initial call.

Keep the appointment. You may be tempted to talk yourself out of it. Remember, this is something you are doing for yourself.

What to Expect: You may wonder what to expect from counseling, especially if you are new to the experience. The counselor will lead you through this by asking appropriate questions and will give you time to talk about your concerns. Together, you will explore what you hope to gain and work toward that goal.
