About Individual Counseling: Student Health & Counseling Services (SHCS) offers individual, short-term counseling. During the phone consultation, the counselor will determine whether the counseling offered at SHCS is going to best serve the student’s needs and approximately how long treatment should be.
If it is decided that SHCS is not the best fit for the student’s needs, the student may be referred to an outside mental health provider for individual therapy.
Students can schedule a Phone Consultation to initiate Counseling services Monday through Friday from 10:00am – 4:30pm.
Phone Consultations can be scheduled same day and up to 48 hours in advance by calling SHSC at (760) 750-4915 or scheduling on the Cougar Health Portal.
Crisis walk/drop-in hours are also available on Monday, Wednesday, Fridays from 10:00 AM-12:00 pm and Tuesday/Thursday from 9:00-11:00 am, and Monday through Friday from 2:00-4:00 pm.
