Individual and Group Counseling Services

Individual Counseling

Short term, one-on-one counseling is available for all BGSU students. Our clinicians use brief therapy approaches that focus on helping identify goals, build skills and find solutions that work for you.

Common topics include:

• Coping with depression, anxiety or PTSD
• Improving communication and problem-solving skills
• Building healthy and satisfying relationships
• Adjusting to university life

Our approach

We strive to create a safe, inclusive and nonjudgmental space where students can talk openly about their experiences. Each session is tailored to individual needs using evidence-based, goal-focused methods that support personal growth and resilience.

Group Counseling

Group counseling provides students with a supportive space to share experiences, gain new perspectives, and develop coping skills with others who may face similar challenges. Led by professional counselors, groups focus on topics such as stress, relationships, identity, and personal growth, helping students feel connected and empowered.

Information shared with Counseling Center staff will not be disclosed without a student’s written consent, except in situations where disclosure is required by law, such as when there is a concern about serious harm to self or others, suspected abuse or neglect of a minor, or as otherwise mandated by court order.
