如果我想换辅导员怎么办?
Sometimes you and the counselor are just not a good match or you do not feel comfortable talking with a particular counselor. We understand that, and would rather you change counselors than stop coming. 如果你想换辅导员的话, we encourage you to speak with the counselor you have been meeting with about changing counselors. 他们真心希望你得到你需要的帮助, so they will not get angry or offended and will help you get rescheduled with another counselor. If it is too uncomfortable or difficult to speak with the counselor you have already met with, you can contact the office and request to speak with the CS director about changing counselors.

Federal and state laws along with professional and ethical standards generally prohibit the counselor from disclosing any information you provide us unless we have your prior written consent. 然而, there are a several exceptions that require the counselor to break confidentiality.
