Mental health appointments are available on campus with our licensed mental health therapist. We offer confidential, free, short-term individual and group counseling services to currently enrolled students. We can also help connect students with campus and community resources to support their well-being.
Students can request a mental health appointment by visiting the Health Services Office located in the Student Services Building. If you are unable to come in person or if you prefer virtual/online/phone services, please see option for telehealth.
What to expect?
When you visit the Health Services Office, inform staff you'd like to schedule a mental health appointment. You'll complete a brief request form with your availability, and we'll schedule a mental health check-in appointment.
During your initial appointment, you'll work with the therapist to discuss your concerns and explore helpful options, such as individual or group therapy, workshops, or referrals to campus and community resources.

- If you present an imminent threat of harm to yourself or others.
- When there is an indication of abuse of a child, dependent adult or elderly adult.
- If you become gravely disabled.
- If information is required by a court subpoena or court order.

The CalHOPE warm line connects callers to people who have persevered through struggles with stress, anxiety, depression—emotions triggered by circumstances and events in everyday life. The peer counselors listen with compassion, provide non-judgmental support, and guide you to additional resources that can give hope and help you cope.
If you are a faculty member or administrator with non-emergency concerns about a student and you would like to consult with a member of Psychological Services, please call or email our campus therapist.
Staff who have a student in serious crisis (disclosing harm to self or harm to others) should immediately call Campus Police at 559-244-5911 or 911 to evaluate the student rather than referring to Psychological Services in order to ensure the safety of the student.
Please note that our clinicians can NOT contact students who have not requested services. If you would like to refer a student to Psychological Services, please encourage them to stop by the health office or walk them to our office so they may submit a request.
If you are unsure, please review the Crisis Do’s & Don’ts for Staff.
