Personal Counseling

A big transition such as coming to college or going on an extended backpacking course inspires excitement, wonder and feelings of connection and unity.  Everyone deals with change differently. Occasionally people experience periods of excessive stress, sadness or fear. Each of us has the ability to handle our hard times through our own self-care or coping systems.  When assistance is needed in strengthening one’s self care system, Prescott College makes every effort to educate and empower students.  One way we assist students is through personal counseling. Personal counseling sessions for students are limited to short term, solution based therapy.  After an initial intake assessment with the college counselor, a student is offered 3 to 5 sessions of counseling. These sessions usually incorporate educational materials, journaling, visualizations, and behavior tracking techniques to raise awareness. All counseling contact is confidential. For those students who require more extensive or additional services than are available through the College counselor, a referral to competent local therapists will be made.
