| PERSONAL COUNSELING/PSYCHOTHERAPY: The Counseling Service offers individual and group counseling for students seeking to work through personal problems. Students come in for a variety of reasons, including emotional, social, and other personal concerns. We help students to: gain a greater understanding of themselves and their values; identify problems and attitudes which contribute to them; explore alternative courses of action; and develop skills to cope with the problem(s). Sessions are strictly CONFIDENTIAL and Private. All Services are free for any FDU student. MISSION: The role of the Counseling Service is to complement the academic experience of our students by facilitating their personal, social and intellectual development. Students lead happier and more productive lives if they complete appropriate developmental tasks, make informed life choices, and believe in the possibility of success. Life circumstances, skills deficits, and/or mental health problems may at times interfere with a student's ability to successfully achieve these goals. Our unique environment and role allows us to help students sort out, express, and manage their feelings, learn new problem-solving skills, clarify values, and advance developmentally. We assist students in: -establishing a positive and realistic sense of self -developing a capacity for intimacy and committment -developing the ability to make informed choices -formulating appropriate life plans and goals This is accomplished by offering: -developmental, preventative, and remedial counseling/psychotherapy to students -consultation, educational, and training services to the entire University community | Alice Mills, Ph.D.Co-Director, Student Counseling and Psychological Services, Metropolitan Campus; Adjunct Professor of Psychology; Adjunct Professor of Athletics-- Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology, California School of Professional Psychology-Los Angeles, 1990--New Jersey Licensed Clinical Psychologist --Member: American Psychological Association Student Union Building telephone: (201) 692-2174 fax: (201) 692-2642 Office hours: Monday-Friday 9-5 by appointment. *******E-MAIL IS NOT A CONFIDENTIAL MEDIUM.
