You can access Uwill by going to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/app.uwill.com\/\">https:\/\/app.uwill.com\/.<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To receive counseling through CPG, click on the following link to access the appointment request form:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/clarku.qualtrics.com\/jfe\/form\/SV_4VdDoyXqzgNDemy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>CPG Appointment Request Form<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There are reserved rooms on campus for students who need a space for virtual therapy sessions. Reach out to us to hear about those spaces.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>What does a first-time appointment at CPG look like?<\/summary>\n<p>In your first CPG appointment, you will discuss your struggles with your therapist and the two of you will develop a treatment plan, which might include a follow-up appointment at CPG, a referral to a therapy group or counselor outside of CPG, or continuing to use CPG services on an \u201cas needed\u201d basis.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>How long, and how often, is individual therapy at CPG?<\/summary>\n<p>Sessions are an average of 45 minutes long. Sometimes all you need is a single session or two to process, problem-solve, and learn about useful tools and resources.&nbsp; Other times, due to the severity and\/or complexity of the problem, a student may require several sessions of therapy at CPG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to understand that CPG is limited to a brief therapy model. When short-term therapy is indicated, sessions may be scheduled on a biweekly basis. In some cases, a student may meet with a therapist weekly for a few weeks and then transition to biweekly or monthly appointments. In other cases, a student may meet with a therapist at CPG for a few sessions to help with a problem and need no further treatment. Your initial therapist will help you determine a plan that is right for you.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-off-campus-therapy\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20)\">Off-Campus Therapy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We are committed to helping students find local resources regardless of where they are located and whether CPG can provide the needed services. CPG will provide referral and\/or consultation services to help students connect locally in instances where CPG is unable to meet the need.
