Intake Consultations

This option provides students with the opportunity to meet with a registered psychologist or doctoral resident to assess their psychological functioning and develop a plan specific to the student's needs. Psychotherapy is an option under this pathway. 

Appointments are a maximum of 50 minutes in duration, with a maximum of 32 student sessions available at the Centre each week.  

Solution-Focused Sessions

A solution-focused session incorporates positive psychology principles and practices. These sessions provide an opportunity for students to work toward a solution to their presenting problem. This is done in collaboration with a Wellness Navigator (Registered Clinical Counsellor), psychologist or an advanced trainee (supervised by a licensed professional). One session is typical; however, additional follow-up may be considered. 

Psychotherapy

This option allows students to meet with a clinician and collaborate and communicate with them within a safe and supportive environment. It is intended to help the client address ways of thinking, feeling or behaving that are problematic in their lives; process concerns related to relationships with others or difficult life experiences; improve skills; and find relief from emotional or psychological distress. 

Group Therapy

There are two types of group therapy: process and psychoeducational. Process groups are closed so that difficult and often deeply personal issues can be disclosed, whereas psychoeducational groups may be in the form of an open, drop-in or closed group.
