How can I see a counselor?
What are the office hours?
What if I have an emergency after hours, during breaks, or holidays?
We offer:
- Crisis intervention
- Short-term, confidential personal counseling
- Seminars on various topics to promote personal growth and mental wellness for the campus community
- Assessment and referral to outside community resources
Limitations of services:
- Counseling Services does not provide long-term, intensive counseling and psychotherapy
- Counseling Services does not provide treatment for alcohol and drug use/abuse. Counselors will meet with students seeking such treatment to provide support, assess the student’s needs, and assist them with off-campus referrals
- Counseling Services neither prescribes medication nor monitors medication intake. Referrals to community resources will be made at the request of the student.
- Please note that the SoLAcc Office of Counseling does NOT provide 24-hour coverage. If you experience a mental health emergency and need immediate assistance:
- Call 911 or go to a local emergency room
- If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, help is available. Call or text 988 or chat 988lifeline.org. The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (formerly known as the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline) offers 24/7 call, text and chat access to trained crisis counselors who can help people experiencing suicidal, substance use, and/or mental health crisis, or any other kind of emotional distress.
