Group Counseling
Counseling groups give you the opportunity to share experiences, learn new perspectives, and experiment with new behaviors in a safe and supportive environment. The group setting helps you discover that others truly understand your feelings and challenges.
Counseling groups are led by one or more professional mental health counseling providers, who demonstrate techniques such as active listening and how to give and receive constructive feedback, so everyone gets the most out of the experience. Group is a unique counseling experience that’s considered the treatment of choice for many of the issues people confront in their years as undergraduate or graduate students.
In your Access consultation, your mental health provider may suggest a group that could be a good fit for you.
UHS offers a wide range of counseling groups every semester. If you are interested in learning more about a group, please call 608-265-5600 (option 2) for information on screening and registration.
