COMPASSION

• Students who come to the Counseling Center are


typically in some kind of emotional pain, distress
or confusion.
• We strive to provide an empathic, nonjudgmental
environment where we listen to students carefully
and without preconceptions and where students
will feel heard and validated.
COLLABORATION

• Effective mental health interventions always involve good


collaboration between clinicians and clients.
• We strive to insure that our clients are equal participants in
their therapy, that they understand their treatment plan and
that the relationships between students and Counseling
Center staff are open and respectful.
• We also strive to maintain effective teamwork within the
Counseling Center and to collaborate effectively across
campus with other student services, with faculty and with
parents.
EXPERTISE

• As clinicians, we take our responsibility to provide


expert care seriously.
• We take responsibility for our continued growth as
professionals.
• We are open about our professional credentials and
training and we use consultation services as needed
and appropriate.
RESPECT FOR AUTONOMY

• We believe that treatment is there to help students


provide their own answers and solutions to the
questions and problems they seek to resolve.
• We encourage students to work with us to meet
their goals and to assume responsibility for their
current lives and future direction.
SENSITIVITY TO DIFFERENCES

• We understand, appreciate, and celebrate the


differences that exist between individuals.
• We are committed to insuring that the Counseling
Center is a welcoming and safe space for all.
CONFIDENTIALITY

• Our staff recognizes the importance of privacy and


safety as the basis of effective therapy. We do not
share information about students seeking help with
anyone without written permission.
• Exceptions to confidentiality are rare and
specifically mandated by law and professional
ethics. We make sure to review confidentiality
during our first contacts with all students as they
may arise in the course of treatment.
