Individual or Personal Counseling
Individual counseling is available for a variety of concerns. No topic is too big or too small. Your counselor will set how often you will be seen with specific goals in mind. There is no limit to the number of meetings you can have with your counselor. Some issues that might be addressed include low self-esteem, family conflicts, time management problems, eating disorders, stress, depression, relationship problems, educational difficulties, substance abuse, sexual issues, or grieving. Support Groups
Support groups are for students who share a particular issue, such as a family member with an alcohol problem. Meetings are usually held once a week during the fall and spring semesters. You are welcome to join a support group at any time during the academic year. Available support groups include Al-Anon and ones for eating disorders and relationship issues. Suggestions for additional groups are welcome and encouraged. Wellness
The Counseling Center provides a range of wellness workshops and services throughout the academic year, including stress relief activities, flu vaccinations, and HIV, depression and mental health screenings. In October, the Counseling Center hosts, in cooperation with other campus organizations and offices, a week of activities for Alcohol Awareness Week. The center also provides eating disorder screenings and hosts a health fair where health screenings are available. Workshops/Seminars
Workshops and seminars are held for you to learn about and discuss various topics, such as anger management, eating disorders, time and money management, self-esteem, self-mutilation, alcohol/drug seminars, humor, perfectionism, and healthy choices/wise decisions. Community Referral
The Counseling Center works closely with other professionals in the Western New York community. When needed, you may be referred to other resources in the community. Consultation to Faculty, Staff and Students
Prevention and early intervention are helpful to assist students in achieving personal and academic goals at Hilbert. We welcome consultations about psychological and educational issues by working directly with faculty and staff about how to work with a particular student's needs or how to work with different student populations. To maintain client confidentiality, no information is released to faculty or staff without a student's written consent. We also consult with students who may be concerned about how to help another student, friend or loved one. Support for Families
To ensure confidentiality, we can never confirm nor deny a student is being seen at the Counseling Center. We can listen and support parents/families and refer them to other resources on or off campus if needed. We are willing to meet with families of students if the student requests it as part of their counseling. Parents or family members who have concerns about their student at Hilbert should contact the counseling director at 649-7900, ext. 232, or e-mail us. Self-Help Brochures/Information
Copies of these self-help brochures are available at the Counseling Center located in the Campus Center, Upper Level. Feel free to stop by and browse through these materials. If you need more help than can be provided with the brochure, contact the Counseling Center at 649-7900, ext. 232, or e-mail us.
