The purpose of counseling is to help you to help yourself. If you sense that you are "stuck", confused, afraid, anxious, depressed or have some such similar feelings or state of mind, you probably could use the help of a professional who is trained to assist you in just such situations.
To have such periods is perfectly normal and to seek help is a sign of wisdom not weakness.

UNG offers brief therapy that is up to 50 minutes per session. Therapy is to help you. When you think you no longer need help, discuss termination with your therapist. In the initial session, the counselor will give a professional opinion regarding possible treatment options. You and the therapist will work together to determine what kind of therapy commitment you would like to make.
Only the therapist and you will know what is said in a session. The only way this information will be shared with anyone is with your written permission to do so. The only exceptions to confidentiality are:
Scope of Practice and Confidentiality
Professionals are trained to help people with quite substantial problems. However, should it appear that you need medication or even hospitalization, you and the therapist would work out a reasonable plan to do this, appropriate to you and your situation. If you were clearly on the verge of harming yourself or someone else, then immediate care would be given.
The Dahlonega, Gainesville, Oconee, and Cumming campuses provide referrals to students who experience problems with their use of alcohol and other drugs (including prescription drugs, nicotine, caffeine, and others).
Counselors can also help provide referrals to students who are struggling with other compulsive or addictive behaviors or substances (including pornography and eating disorders).
