Example Citation:
Mr. Lorch began therapy at Columbia's campus counseling center. He estimates that he attended a dozen sessions before he was referred to an off-campus psychiatrist, whom he continued to see through the summer and into his sophomore year. In taking that step, Mr. Lorch joined some 2,600 other students who sought help at Columbia's counseling center last year and thousands more across the nation whose increasing use of psychotherapy is forcing campus mental health services to reevaluate their mission and expand.

Koons, yes, ditto his contemporary Mike Kelley (snogging teddiespop remade for the therapy generation).
