Meet your Counselors

Thank you for allowing us to work with you. Here are some things to know about counseling.

• We believe that counseling is a journey of self-exploration meant to increase self-understanding and self-awareness.
• As counselors, our role is to act as a guide or facilitator of this journey.
• We do not act as nor believe that we are self-appointed experts of your life, effortlessly dispensing advice on what you should be thinking, feeling, and doing.
• We do not readily provide answers/solutions to your questions/problems regarding yourself or your life.
• From our experience, people are often capable and much more inclined to stick to an answer/solution when it is self-realized.
• We believe that you are in possession of the answers to your questions.
• Our role as counselors is to help you identify, develop, and mobilize resources to successfully solve problems and meet challenges.

For general counseling questions, email sassi@uthsc.edu or an individual counselor.
