counseling at canisius

Whether you are a traditional or adult student, the lessons learned and obstacles overcome during college can provide for emotional growth and maturity.  However, these lessons and obstacles may also have negative outcomes such as overwhelming stress, anxiety, and other difficulties that affect your performance as a student.  If this happens to you, the Counseling Center can help.

By meeting with one of our professional counselors, you have the opportunity to enhance your quality of life as you work through personal challenges.  Counseling may help you improve your self esteem, overcome self defeating behavior, improve your life and relationship skills, as well as enhance your ability to perform to your potential. 

Some reasons to seek counseling include: adjustment to college life, abuse issues, addiction, anger management, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, grief/loss, relationship issues, sexuality issues and stress management.

    What Happens During the Counseling Process?
    You will initially meet with a counselor who will listen to your concerns and then, together, you will establish some goals.  You will continue to meet with your counselor about once each week as you work toward achieving those goals.  Sometimes it may only take one session.  For a more detailed description of the counseling process, click here.
