What to Expect

A counseling session is about you: You’re the boss. The counselor’s job is to listen and help guide you to where you want to go. The client and counselor together create a relationship. If you come prepared to discuss goals and what matters to you the most, you will benefit more from your session than if you take a backseat.

 

Length of Service

Like most college counseling centers, MDCC generally provides brief, solution-focused services. Some issues may take several sessions to work through. Should long-term services be appropriate, your counselor can assist you in finding an off-campus provider.

 

Confidentiality

Counseling information must remain confidential and secure; nothing is shared with anyone without your written permission except in specific legal exceptions listed below, or unless you indicate in writing that you wish the information to be communicated to specific persons outside the Office.

Exceptions to Confidentiality:
  1.  Clear and imminent physical or psychological danger to Yourself;
  2.  Clear and imminent danger to Another – every attempt will be made to warn the person;
  3.  Cases of suspected abuse of a Vulnerable Person – i.e., child, elder, disabled;
  4.  Court Subpoenas – legal advice to comply will be sought and followed.
