Counseling

Full-time counselors at èßäÊÓƵapp are ready to assist students one on one with their substance use concerns. èßäÊÓƵapp should schedule a meeting with the counselor to discuss concerns they have of their use of alcohol and other drugs, from there the next steps will be discussed between the counselor and student.  

Short term counseling is offered at èßäÊÓƵapp. The student and counselor will meet on a weekly or bi-weekly basis to collaboratively establish goals, identify triggers, explore and utilize supports, process through factors that impact substance use, and other concerns that pertain to the student’s needs. 

Group Therapy is also an option. After meeting with the counselor some students may be connected to a group on èßäÊÓƵapp. The groups on èßäÊÓƵapp include support groups or skill development groups.
