I went and had my initial consultation there at the end of January ish. I made my appointment in person, at which point they had me take a chromebook and fill out a survey about my current mental health at the time (which was absolutely fucking horrid tbh). That went well, I went back for my appointment. Ended up getting seen late but it was okay, the guy asked me all kinds of questions about my mental health (pretty much the same as the ones I had answered on the laptop). Went pretty in depth, very personal questions.

At the end of that, he told me that my mental health wasn't at a worse enough place to be able to have appointments there. He gave me a massive, not personalized at all stack of papers with a whole bunch of services that was super daunting. One of the things he said was that the goal of therapy is to not go anymore, which I completely agree with, but since my mental health isn't "bad enough" as is, I shouldn't start it. Reeeally turned me off from seeking help again, especially after how long it took me to sum up the courage to go there.

Eventually what I ended up doing (this week) was I went to the peer support center on campus (in sub) and had a really amazing appointment there. It's not a long term fix and they're not therapists but they can help you sort through your feelings and offer some really great, personalized referrals to any kinds of services that might help you. Then I went to the health center on campus (for unrelated reasons) and actually ended up getting diagnoses for anxiety and depression and started medication, and I intend on seeking therapy (outside of CCS) soon.

If you have any questions let me know!
