WHAT
Counseling is a formal relationship between a client and a counselor entered into with the hope of its leading to a desired change. The counselor has had special training to become a facilitator of change.
The Practicum Lab at Northern Arizona University provides counseling services without charge to members of the Flagstaff community as well as to students, faculty and staff at N.A.U.
WHY
Some people come to the facility because they need help in dealing with stress in their lives. Others have specific problems they want to work on such as career planning, problems with parents, roommates, or friends, anxiety, anger, loneliness, depression, weight control, phobias, etc. Some people come to the facility because they want to understand themselves better or learn skills to help them cope better with future concerns. Many needs are met through individual counseling and some needs are met through group counseling.
WHO
Counselors in the Practicum Lab are graduate students in counseling and work under the close supervision of certified counselors or licensed psychologists. Because the facility is a training facility all sessions will be taped or observed. The identity of clients is protected and confidentiality is protected. Please note that there are exceptions to confidentiality which will be discussed further by your counselor. Personal information about clients is not released to anyone, including university personnel, without your request and signed release (certain legally-required exceptions will be explained before you begin any counseling).
WHERE
The Practicum Lab is located in the College of Education, Eastburn Building 27, Room 169, Flagstaff, Arizona.
