More About Our Services

• Why seek personal psychological counseling?

  Many problems of everyday living can be resolved through talking with friends, family or someone we trust. However, there are times when seeking assistance outside one’s familiar environment can be helpful.

  The Psychological Services office is here to meet such needs. Learn about our services.

• Is there a fee for these services?

  There is no fee for any student currently enrolled in a credit class. These services and a variety of other student health services are funded by your student health fees, paid at the beginning of each quarter. However, please cancel any appointment you cannot attend at least 48 hours in advance to avoid counting the appointment towards your ten free sessions.
  

• "What if I'm not enrolled this quarter, can I still continue with my therapist from last?"

  Unfortunately no, you MUST be enrolled to continue on with your therapist, or even see a new one if they're no longer here. If you transfer out your new college will have their own psychological services.

Workshops

• We also offer a series of mental health educational workshops each quarter to help you manage your stress before it manages you!
