Veterans

You Served Us, Now Let Us Serve You

We create an atmosphere where veterans and military students can examine and discuss freely and confidentially personal concerns of any type. Additionally, our therapists are aware of the unique challenges returning veterans may encounter and are ready to offer the support and services that will ease the transition to college life at Ohio State. 

Signs That Counseling Might Be Helpful

Returning home from deployment or service to a college environment produces a unique set of challenges. Often times transitioning to academic life is a process that requires support from others, especially if an individual has concerns that start to interfere with academic success. Examples of transitional concerns that are commonly discussed in counseling include:

  • Difficulty relating to students who don’t share similar values or life experiences
  • Navigating the cultural differences between the military and higher education bureaucracies
  • Difficulty concentrating in the classroom
  • Balancing multiple roles
  • Feeling a sense of purposelessness
  • Feeling misunderstood by others 

If interested in services, please call 614-292-5766 and identify yourself as a veteran or military student to directly schedule an appointment with a veteran’s specialist.
