Methods: The psychological complaints of students were examined to determine the population that has utilized psychological counseling over the last 2 years at this institution.
Results: The following issues were identified as the top three presenting concerns for individuals pursuing psychological counseling: mood disorders, relationships, and substance-related disorders.
Conclusion: The counseling center’s top three issues pursued for counseling are consistent with the research of mental health issues on college campuses.
