Over time, all couples experience fluctuations in closeness and harmony. Couples counseling provides a valuable opportunity to address conflicts, heal emotional wounds, and navigate challenges ranging from stagnation to more serious concerns, such as aggressive behavior. By fostering open communication and setting realistic expectations, counseling can help strengthen relationships and promote long-term well-being.

At the Counseling Center, we offer ongoing workshops and services designed to support and enrich relationships. Couples who complete our Partners in Progress workshops can further benefit from personalized counseling sessions tailored to their unique needs, providing them with the tools and guidance necessary to build a healthier, more fulfilling partnership.

Partners In Progress

Partners in Progress is a series of workshops for couples focusing on fostering emotional awareness, improving communication, and managing conflict in a healthy way. Through a series of interactive sessions, couples will learn to recognize and articulate their emotions, deepen their understanding of each other, and develop effective communication strategies. The workshops also provide tools for navigating disagreements constructively, helping couples build a stronger, more resilient relationship. Whether you’re looking to enhance your connection or address specific challenges, these workshops offer practical skills and insights to support a thriving partnership.

Criteria for Partners in Progress participation: Both partners must be enrolled at ETAMU

A significant benefit of group counseling is the understanding that you are not alone in the life challenges you're facing. Being involved in a group of peers who are experiencing similar situations increases your understanding of struggles surrounding the topic and illustrates the variety of possible solutions available. Groups typically have up to eight participants and one or two group leaders. Psychoeducation Groups are offered on a rotating schedule, per semester. The Counseling Center will promote which groups are available for the academic semester.

Group options for the semester will be listed below.

Mental Health Screening

While not a substitute for counseling, the screening may bring clarity to the issues you’re struggling with. The Counseling Center does not receive your results, although you are welcome to print or save your results for use in your counseling appointments. Receive your free mental health screening in less than five minutes through our partnership with MindWise Innovations.

You can also call the Counseling Center at 903.886.5145 to talk to someone about your results.

Consultation and Referral

We consult with students, parents, faculty and staff. We work to create and maintain meaningful connections with campus partners, and serve a major role in the Critical Incident Response Team (CIRT) for crisis response.
