Sometimes a problem is better addressed through group counseling than individual appointments. Talking to other students who have had similar experiences provides support and perspective. A counseling group can be powerfully healing — for some students, one of the most rewarding experiences during their NYU years.
Every semester, new groups are offered. To participate in a group, you must arrange to speak to the group leader (call 212-998-4780).
