We're Here For You

You are welcome to stop by in person to learn about our services or schedule an appointment for a private session with a Psychological Services counselor.

A Note About Appointments

Our schedule for the rest of winter quarter is mostly full. In order to serve clients who have already scheduled appointments, we are unable to accept new clients for ongoing counseling. However, students who are in crisis can still schedule a one-time appointment to check in with a Psychological Services counselor.

To schedule a one-time check-in session, please send an email to dapsychservice@deanza.edu with your name, CWID and the times that you are available in the next two or three days. Please include a brief statement that you are requesting intake forms for a one-time check-in session. Once we confirm your registration, we will post the required intake forms on the Student Health Portal where you can fill them out.

We also offer these online services:

  • TimelyCare – speak online with a mental health professional anytime, 24/7
  • Wellness Central – get health and wellness information
  • eCheckup To Go – learn how to support your own well-being and healthy behavior

If You Have an Emergency

Call 9-1-1 or go to the nearest hospital. De Anza's Psychological Services office is not a 24-hour program. For immediate assistance, see the list of 24-hour crisis hotlines below.

Support Groups and Activities

Our winter quarter schedule of support groups and other activities will end on March 24. Please check back for an updated schedule for spring quarter.
