我们努力实现这一使命,通过:
Our main goal is for you to feel both understood and cared for. 在一起评估关注点之后, you and your therapist will develop a plan that meets your needs.
Although much learning in college occurs in the classroom, there is also a great deal of learning that occurs outside it. 在咨询, 学习是关于你自己的, who you really are and where you are going with your life, 如何管理情绪, or how to resolve or cope with internal or interpersonal conflicts. Counseling can help renew a sense of active engagement in learning and life.
Please Note: All services at the 咨询中心 are free to Rhode Island College students. You do not need to provide insurance or payment of any sort. Counseling is covered by your student health fee and tuition, 所以你和/或你的保险永远不会被帐单.
The approaches to counseling used by our staff and students span a diversity of perspectives, yet there is also cohesiveness in our understanding of what promotes wellness and distress. 我们的治疗师往往是人文主义者, contemporary relational psychodynamic and mindfulness-based approaches and consider systemic and cultural factors. This amounts to respect for the client as an important collaborator, a broad perspective that past relationships often impact and guide our current relationships with others and ourselves while balancing this with a focus on the present, and an understanding that many factors outside of us contribute to our wellbeing.
Students will have a chance to indicate their preferences about the background of their therapist. We are invested in facilitating the best match between therapist and client.
The RIC 咨询中心 takes students’ privacy very seriously and maintains a strict policy on Confidentiality. Limitations to Confidentiality will be discussed at the first session. Mental health records are maintained separately from your academic records and are not released without your written consent.
If you are experiencing overwhelming challenges and need to speak with a therapist urgently, 我们在工作日提供同日预约.
You can speak with a clinician any time of day or night, thanks to RIC 咨询中心's partnership with 阿兰健康. Calling the Hope Line or using the 阿兰健康 app will get you in touch with a 阿兰健康 clinician.
