Counseling Services Can Benefit Everyone:
The college years are a unique time in an individual's life. It is a time when one emerges into adulthood. As our society continues to change and evolve, college students are experiencing some of the most dramatic, exciting, and often distressing changes. This period is one of excitement and uncertainty, possibility and confusion, new freedoms and new fears.
The lessons learned and the obstacles overcome during these years can provide a wonderful opportunity for intellectual, social, and emotional growth. These years can be a time for exploration, a time for healing, and a time to establish healthy habits that will promote your overall wellness as a person.
Many individuals seek counseling only when life seems to be too difficult to manage, when negative consequences such as overwhelming stress, psychological problems or academic difficulties affect their performance as a student. Counseling services can, however, be a useful and rewarding experience for everyone who is navigating life, asking big questions, and exploring the endless options life seems to offer, regardless of how much distress they may be experiencing.
If you have taken the time to visit this site and to read this passage, there is a good chance that you or someone you care about may benefit from speaking to a counselor. SUNY Fredonia offers free, confidential, private and individualized services by licensed mental health professionals to all registered students. Contact us today.

The mission of the SUNY Fredonia Counseling Center is to promote intellectual, social, and emotional development that fosters academic and personal success within the context of a global and culturally diverse society.
Intake Paperwork
Once you have scheduled an appointment to meet with a counselor, you will be asked to complete some paperwork to help the Counseling Center Staff better serve you. Most individuals need approximately 15 minutes to complete these materials. Feel free to print out, complete, and bring this confidential intake questionnaire with you to your first counseling session. In addition, try to arrive to your appointment early to complete additional assessments that we are unable to provide ahead of time.
