学生Counseling is open from 8:30am to 4:30pm, Monday through Friday. Some clinicians maintain schedules that allow for appointments earlier or later than these times.

Initial appointments are made by contacting 学生Counseling at 464-3120. Typically we are able to offer an initial appointment within five business days of the request, 虽然在高音量的时候(e.g.(初秋)，这段时间可能更长. Ongoing services usually occur on a weekly basis and are scheduled between the student and clinician.

Clinical information is kept confidential and is legally privileged. Information cannot be disclosed to any other party without your written permission. There are several exceptions to this rule in New York State, however. If a clinician believes that you present an imminent threat of harm to yourself or others, 我们必须向有关方面披露此事, 其中可能包括紧急服务, 你的紧急联系人, or, 是否会直接影响到大学, 学生事务主任或学生健康主任. If counselors become aware of child or elder abuse, they are legally required to file a report. Clinicians also must release confidential information when ordered to do so by a court of law.

因为SCS是一种医疗保健服务, information may be shared between 学生健康 and 学生Counseling when medically necessary. 学生健康 is bound to the same rules of confidentiality as 学生Counseling and never shares information with others without the student's written permission.

是的. Law and ethical professional practice require us to maintain a record of our services. These records are maintained securely in an electronic medical record that is separate from that of 推荐最近最火的赌博软件 or other medical facilities. Records are not accessible to faculty, administration, or other students.

If you are not pleased with the help you are getting, please discuss this openly with your clinician. This provides the best chance of you having a more helpful experience. If you still feel that your concerns are not addressed, please contact Dr. Vanderhoff at 315-464-3120 to discuss your concerns and options.

Students are paired with clinicians based on clinical need and staff availability; for this reason, SCS does not provide the option to choose which clinician to see. 有时, students ask to work only with a clinician of a particular gender, 比赛, 性取向, 宗教, 或种族. 通常, this is out of concern that someone different from the student might not be able to understand or work well with the student. SCS provides culturally-sensitive services and seeks to provide an environment in which students feel safe exploring difficult personal issues; however, this safety is based on much more than a therapist’s demographics. Judging a clinician’s potential effectiveness solely by their demographics is harmful to both student and clinician. 出于这些原因, 学生Counseling does not practice demographic-based “matching” of students with therapists.

服务是免费的, although students are responsible for the cost of any prescribed medications or labwork related to medication management.

A large volume of controlled outcome studies suggests that psychotherapy is effective in addressing problems such as anxiety, 抑郁症, 人际冲突. 除了, psychopharmacological interventions have been found to successfully treat a range of mental health disorders.
