Why Talk to a Counselor?

Students sometimes experience personal issues that interfere with their educational and personal goals. Counselors are impartial listeners who are not directly involved in your particular situation. Through the counseling process, students can develop skills needed to cope with personal problems. Students often seek personal counseling services for the following reasons:

• problems with relationships
• self-esteem issues
• depression
• stress / anxiety
• suicidal thoughts
• crisis intervention

For these or other emotional problems, seeking counseling is one way to help you manage your life issues. 

To schedule a counseling appointment, call 918-293-4988, email kaitlin.rouk@okstate.edu or visit the contact counseling services tab on the left hand side of the screen.
