What could I expect with my first session?
Every student who would like to be seen in the Counseling Center MUST register for the Thunderwolf Health Portal. There you will find the new patient paper work that was assigned to you at the time you made your appointment. This paperwork is mandatory and needs to be filled out PRIOR to you being seen for your appointment. If you have any issue with the Thunderwolf Health Portal please call the Counseling Center so we can assist you. Your first session consists of an Intake and the therapist getting a history from you. At that time you are able to work with the therapist on establishing therapeutic goals. The sessions are approximately 50 minutes long. -
Is this confidential?
