Individual Counseling

If individual counseling at CSDC is recommended, the student will discuss the goals and length of counseling with her/his assigned counselor. Counseling at CSDC is based on a short-term model. This means that we develop strategies to address student goals and then determine the approximate number of sessions necessary to meet those goals. The number of sessions that students receive ranges from 2-14 with most students being seen 8 times.

At times, the requests for counseling outnumber our staff resources. If you attend a walk-in appointment during one of these high demand periods, you may be placed on a waiting list.
