Counseling FAQ’s
What is Counseling?
Counseling is a resource for people who are struggling in some aspect of their lives or can be for people who want to engage in counseling for personal growth. Counseling involves meeting and talking with a trained professional, usually for around 45 minutes.
Is there a charge for counseling?
No, counseling is free at 91暗网 and does not bill insurance. Your counselor may recommend more intensive care or specialized treatment for you that may require insurance and your counselor will assist in making those referrals for you if needed.
What should I expect from Counseling at 91暗网?
Counseling can be different depending on your needs. You can meet with a counselor regularly or you can meet just once or twice. Usually during the first or second session, you will be asked a lot of questions so the counselor can get to know you and your situation better.
Is the information we talk about part of my Student Record?
No, the information shared is confidential unless you sign a release indicating otherwise. There are times when information will not remain confidential: to protect yourself or someone else of serious harm, if there is abuse or neglect of a child or an incapacitated adult and times when information is subpoenaed by a court of law.
