Should I see a therapist on campus or off campus? | Mental Health for College Students

Описание: In this video on college mental health, we explore the pros and cons of seeing a therapist on campus versus off campus. It is important to know that these are generalizations and you should always check with your university counseling center for specific information!

On Campus Pros:
Typically low cost or free
Variety of Mental Health Professionals
Conveniently located on campus

On Campus Cons:
Short term treatment
Typically can only see students once or twice a month
Some students need a higher level care

Off Campus Pros:
Choice of type of therapy and therapist
Choice of frequency of session
Seek out specialized treatment

Off Campus Cons:
Can be expensive
Insurance can limit choice

My general opinion from working both at a University Counseling center and in private practice: You don’t have much to lose going to the counseling center first for a free or low-cost evaluation. Just know that the therapy will likely be short-term and you may be referred-out off campus because that is clinically the best option for your mental health needs.
