Groups and Workshops

Group therapy has been proven to be just as effective as individual counseling, and can be incredibly impactful due to stigma reduction and solidarity one feels from peer support. Counseling Services offers multiple Therapy Groups each semester, where up to 8 students and 2 counselors meet weekly for 90-minute group therapy sessions. This group fosters increasing vulnerability and trust, learning to share feelings, increasing comfortability asking for and receiving support, and many other skills. 

Please call Counseling Services at 315-312-4416 if interested to learn available time slots, schedule a pre-group screening, and ask any questions you may have. 

The Grief and Loss support group is a counselor-facilitated peer support group for students affected by the death of a loved one. The group is a safe place to learn and share the grief process. Counselor led activities supplement this process.
