什么是咨询?

Counseling is when a trained professional 辅导员 helps a student get through difficult times by talking in a supportive and safe atmosphere. Counseling is a way for the student to become more aware of what may be going on in his or her life. 它是一个 opportunity for self-assessment and discovery. Through talking with a 辅导员 and receiving an outside perspective on an issue, a student may come to some conclusions about what they want to change in their life. The reasons for counseling vary greatly. The goals of the session will vary person to person. Those goals are worked out with the 辅导员 and the student.
