When I was in college for part of the time I had a roommate and was seeing a therapist. She had no idea that I was seeing a therapist. I didn't explain a thing. she would invite me somewhere and Id say sorry I have plans and ask her how her day went. Roommates dont have to and rarely do they confide everything with each other. having a roommate is basically a financial arrangement most times and the roommates usually have their own things to do besides what they do together. sometimes they have complete different groups of friends, have different likes and dislikes and so on. Unless the roommate is also seeing a therapist at the same therapy agency the odds of the roommate finding out in other ways that you see a therapist is slim to none. and university centers are usually not just for therapy. Usually the financial aid office is in the center as is the nurses office and probably other offices too and those offices have many people coming and going. Someone recognizes you, you can always say you just got done at another office and decided to do some site seeing or not explain at all whay you are there because its no ones business.

I saw in another post you were asking what intake process is - its basically the first visit where you do paper work stuff - name address phone number, insurance and time for you to explain why you want or need to be in therapy and sometimes this session is also used to start drawing up a goal plan for you.
