Individual Counselling
Student Counselors work with students to help them to succeed academically and socially. An emotional one-on-one guidance and help is provided for students as well as plan for their futures by guiding them in building a career. Individual counseling and psychotherapy is often recommended to students who are struggling with a variety of problems.
The student meets one-on-one with the university counselor, who will provide a supportive and confidential environment in which to work through the issues that are of concern to the person seeking counsel.
With our new system of booking, you can schedule a session lasting 30 minutes with one of our counsellors, but students may be seen more or less frequently depending on the type of problem and their individual needs.
Strict Standards of Confidentiality
All inquiries and information shared by those (18 years and older) in counseling sessions, including acknowledgment of using counseling services, is confidential and is protected to the full extent of the law and professional ethical codes. Information will not be disclosed to anyone (including university faculty and staff, parents, or any third party) without prior written consent. The only exceptions to confidentiality are cases of clear and imminent danger to self or others, cases involving physical and/or sexual abuse or neglect, or cases that result in court orders. Also, all counseling records are kept separate from academic or administrative records.
Referrals to Outside Services
If the MIUC Counseling Services is unable to provide the help required, the counselor will help with off-campus referrals to other appropriate mental health professionals. The suggested referrals to outside services are all covered by the student health insurance provided by MIUC. Students who might ask for referrals may be students who need long term counselling, medication services and/or more specialized treatments. We encourage students to meet with our university counselor to discuss the most adequate alternative options for any mental health needs and concerns.
