Counseling



 

Thank you for visiting the Brickley Center’s Counseling Services website.  We recognize that your wellbeing is an important part of getting the most out of your college experience. It impacts your personal, academic, spiritual and relational life.  Our Center aims at providing a professional, confidential and safe place to get help and support for any ENC student.

Why do college students seek out counseling services? 
Here are just a few examples of issues addressed in counseling:  adjusting to college, loneliness, sadness/depression, relationship issues, stress, anxiety, sexual issues, sexual abuse, trauma, bipolar illness, eating issues, academic problems, alcohol and drug use/abuse, grief, premarital or serious relationship counseling. 

This is not meant to be a comprehensive list.  We are available to consult with you on whatever you may wish to talk about. You can also check out 'When to seek help.'
