Counseling
The Center for the Education of Women assists hundreds of women and men each year as they make decisions about their futures. The comprehensive counseling program supports exploration of educational and career interests within the context of relationships and life circumstances.
Our professionally trained and experienced counselors work within a developmental framework to help women and men consider their options, make informed choices, and both define and resolve problems, while focusing on issues of achieving balance between work and family.
To schedule an appointment, stop in at CEW or call 734.764.6360 There is no charge for counseling appointments, which are available to anyone, whether affiliated with the University or not. Plan to arrive about 30 minutes prior to your appointment in order to complete an intake form. After your appointment you will have the opportunity to complete a brief satisfaction survey.
What happens in a counseling appointment?
While there is no "typical" appointment, the list below can give you an idea of the concerns our participants tend to discuss in a counseling appointment at CEW.
- goals clarification
- feedback on resumes, cover letters, application materials, etc.
- how to start a job search
- educational goals
- how to return to college or graduate school
- work/life/family balance issues
There is no limit on the number of appointments you may have; you and the counselor will make that decision.
CEW’s integrated approach includes workshops and programs, a library with circulating materials and other services.
Who uses CEW’s counseling service?
Our counseling services have been used effectively by all kinds of people–from executives to entrepreneurs, from faculty to non-traditional returning students, to community members experiencing mid-life transitions.
