Supporting Your Student While Letting Them Go

Frequently asked questions about counseling

Are my visits confidential?

Yes. There are exceptions, such as when there is a threat to your or someone else's safety. Your counselor will review the confidentiality rules with you during your first session.

Does counseling go on my academic record?

No. Your counseling records remain securely stored in our offices. Please click here for more information about the Student Counseling Center's Release of Counseling Records Policy.

How much does it cost to receive personal counseling services at 绿帽社?

Counseling services are free to students currently enrolled in at least one credit hour on-site at 绿帽社's 绿帽社 campus.

How many sessions can I attend each semester?

The counselors at the SCC provide short-term therapy. Therefore, the number of sessions a student may attend is limited and left to the discretion of their counselor. It is essential that students actively participate in sessions, work hard outside of sessions, keep scheduled appointments, and reschedule with proper notice.

Will I be allowed to choose or switch my counselor?

No. Once assigned a counselor at our office, you will meet with that counselor for your treatment at the Student Counseling Center. If, for some reason, you do not want to continue meeting with your assigned counselor, but you wish to continue treatment, we can refer you to another mental health agency.

What can I expect during the first session?

Before your initial appointment, we will send you an email with a reminder of your appointment date and time and a link to our paperwork. We ask that you fill out and submit that paperwork before your appointment. Your first session with your counselor is considered an intake session and involves information gathering. You must be open and honest with your counselor so they can figure out a treatment approach that will best suit your needs.

Can I be seen right away or do I need to make an appointment to see a counselor?

You will need to make an appointment to meet with a counselor. We typically do not see students the same day they make an appointment unless they are in crisis. You can call our office at (334) 670-3700.
