The first appointment is an informational session which usually takes about 45 minutes.  Your counselor will clarify and assess your reasons for seeking help and obtain some relevant background information.  Clients often find this process comforting despite their initial stress and anxiety, and leave feeling a sense of relief. 

During the initial consultation session, the counselor and the client will decide the best course of action to address the client's concerns.  This may include, but is not limited to, time-limited individual and/or group counseling, a referral to other services on campus, or a referral to a professional outside of the DU Community if it appears that this would be more helpful and/or appropriate.
