Counseling and Psychological Services offers a variety of different counseling groups each semester. Group counseling empowers students to give and receive feedback and support while working through individual concerns in a safe and confidential environment. Group therapy consists of 6–8 members, as well as group facilitators. Group referrals are based on clinical judgment/treatment need. To get the most out of group, a therapist will assess your needs and make the appropriate referral.
If you are interested in joining a group, set up a consultation by calling 740.593.1616 or dropping in to Hudson Health Center 3rd Floor during business hours.

Still not sure about group?
Here are some reflections from previous participants:
"Group therapy this semester helped me to deal with my emotions and honestly kept me afloat. I always looked forward to sessions and would leave them feeling grounded. I appreciate the connections I formed and the kindness with which we all treated each other.”
"Group was a very useful tool for me. Group helped me to realize that I am not the only person going through different scenarios in my life, and it helped me to manage my coping skills."
"Co-leaders were wonderful and made me feel safe and accepted. The dynamics of any group can be challenging but I think they did a wonderful job at making space for growth and healing for everyone."
