Services
The Counseling Services Office offers:
Academic Counseling
(Click for more info)
Graduate school is rigorous and demands a lot of time and attention from students. Some students may experience academic difficulties during their graduate years, and students are welcome to discuss challenges they are facing so as to develop better strategies to manage their time, learn, study and take tests.
Personal Counseling
(Click for more info)Students and others from the CVM community may experience a wide variety of personal concerns related to depression, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, abuse, anger, stress and other issues. The Counseling Services Office is a safe place to explore these issues and develop ways to better cope with problems that arise from life experiences. Counseling services are usually short-term in nature; if an off-campus referral is needed for longer-term or more intensive therapeutic assistance, consultation is available for identifying appropriate referrals.
Please note that for faculty and staff, only short-term assistance/intervention is offered through the Counseling Services Office because an employee assistance program is available. More information about the employee assistance program can be found at: http://www2.acs.ncsu.edu/hr/fsap.html
Grief Support
People may experience a wide array of emotions with the loss of their companion animal or when they need to make decisions about the life of their pet. Counseling is also available to those who utilize the Veterinary Teaching Hospital and who need to talk with someone about the feelings they have related to the loss of their animal friend.
Consultation
There may be times when people wish to consult on a personal or professional issue such as how to deal with difficult people, how to resolve conflict, where to seek information about child or elder care, etc. Consultation services for those seeking guidance and advice with personal or professional concerns are also provided.
