For Students

*Interested students can call in for an Initial Consultation or talk to your current UCC therapist to get set up with Skills Sessions.

Skills Sessions are individualized, 1:1 sessions with trained Skills Facilitators at the UCC who can help with skills development. Skills Sessions are designed to help students increase their coping strategies and help you learn, refresh or practice practical, everyday mental health skills. These sessions can be an alternative to traditional therapy, or could be used to supplement individual or group therapy.  The following is a list of topics covered in skill sessions:

• Managing Academic & Life Stress
• Meditation and Mindfulness
• Test Anxiety
• Coping with Anxiety
• Creating a Self-Care Plan
• Getting Better Sleep
• Procrastination & Motivation
• Executive functioning skills
• Preparing to join a therapy group

Your Skills Session Facilitator will work with you to develop a customized plan to get you feeling better. Most of the time, students’ needs can be addressed through Skills Sessions alone, but your Facilitator will also check in with you to see if you want or need to see a therapist too. If you do, they’ll help you get set up for your first counseling appointment.
