- Honestly and openly voice your thoughts and feelings in counseling.
- Between sessions, think through the concerns you are addressing in counseling.
- Complete your counseling homework assignments.
- Experiment with new and positive ways of doing things and thinking about things.
- Give your counselor feedback about how counseling is going.
- Make use of the Counseling Center emergency counseling services when necessary.
COMMUNITY THERAPY & PSYCHOEDUCATION EVALUATION
We have compiled a list of psychotherapists in the community who have expressed an interest in working with HWS students. In addition to consulting with your health insurance provider if appropriate, you may find this list helpful if you are seeking area services, including long-term individual therapy.
We have also put together a list of area providers of psychoeducational evaluation to assist students who may have concerns about development, learning, memory, academics, behavior or related mental health not recently assessed in full Thorough psychoeducational evaluation is invaluable in identifying specific ways to help individual students succeed.
