Mental health is an important aspect of our lives that is often ignored. In today’s fast-paced world, it has become increasingly difficult for individuals to take care of their mental health. Some people might even avoid seeking help because of the social stigma that often comes with mental health issues. However, it is important to remember that mental health is just as important as physical health, and seeking help when you need it is nothing to be ashamed of.
At SUNY Old Westbury, we understand the importance of mental health and offer counseling services to our students. Our counseling center is dedicated to helping students improve their mental health by providing various counseling services, including individual counseling, group counseling, and couples counseling.
Individual Counseling
Individual counseling is a one-on-one therapy session where a student meets with a licensed counselor to discuss and work through their mental health concerns. These counseling sessions are confidential and students can talk about anything they wish without fear of judgment. Our counselors are trained professionals who specialize in a variety of mental health concerns including depression, anxiety, stress, and relationship issues.
Group Counseling
Group counseling is a therapy session where a small group of individuals meet with a licensed counselor to discuss issues they are facing. Group therapy provides a safe and supportive environment for students to share their thoughts and feelings, and receive support from others who are going through similar experiences. Group counseling can be an effective way to improve mental health as it provides a sense of community and belonging.
Couples Counseling
Couples counseling is a type of therapy designed for couples who are experiencing relationship difficulties. Couples counseling at SUNY Old Westbury Counseling Center is a safe and supportive environment where couples can learn effective communication skills and work through their issues. Our licensed counselors are trained to help couples improve their relationships and resolve conflicts in a healthy and constructive manner.
