Psychological Services Case Study

Journal Psychological Services
The Psychological Services at Fresno City provides free services for enrolled college students. These services are individual brief therapy, crisis intervention, group therapy, psychological testing, referral network, consultation, and also provide guest speakers for teachers who want their students to be informed in what is provided on campuses. If or when a student want to have a therapy session the student will be assigned to a therapist. The therapist will then learn from the student on what is going on and how to best help you. The student will receive eight sessions free in the first semester,then after two sessions for the subsequent semesters. Therapy sessions last about 50 mins long and are sequalded once a week. Also therapy is confidential and private. Therapy is a way to help students find different ways to cope, process difficult emotions or situations, and improve the students well-being.

There are three main common students concerns.

There is the Emotional concerns: these are Sadness, depression, hopelessness, Tired, lack of energy, Decrease in motivation, Isolation, loneliness, Irritability, hostility, anger, Feelings of worthlessness, and Relationship concerns. There are Stress and Anxiety concerns: these are Fear, anxiousness, Panic attacks, Stress, worry, Unwanted intrusive thoughts, Restlessness, Shyness, and social anxiety. Lastly there are Thinking concerns, students who have these concerns have trouble remembering and concentrating. The most scary part in this knowing of the psychological concerns is that I have gone through and still going through emotional and stress/anxiety symptoms. In high school I went through some major family problems that cause me to go through depression. With these depression symptoms I developed anxiety, but I have gone through every single concerns in these two

columns.
There is something a person that even though I do not see him still causes me to stress out. This one person you are probably wondering is my biological father. He was in my life for 14 years until he started to threaten me with court orders. This had go so bad it went on for three years straight which caused me to go into depression and other symptoms. I have gone to the point where I wanted to consider suicide just so he would not have no whight over me. I am thinking of attending the psychological center to schedule an appointment with a therapist. There is some unknown reason on why I am so scared to tell the biological father what he has done to me. I hope that with these therapy sessions it will help me see what the big picture. It is scary because my biological father is know for violence and anger issues. I was informed that he threatened my mom when i was just a baby and that for some bizarre reason all his brothers were antsy when I had stayed alone with him. The one main cause of the stress is that I want to know why I am so emotional and do not remember what memories I have from when I was 14 to second grade. The one question that I keep running through my head is do I really want to know my passed even if my brain is blocking those memories and also what did he do to me?
