If you wish
to refer a student for counseling, please call (310) 434-4503 and we will help you get the
student in with one of our staff as quickly as possible. Early intervention is preferable to crisis
intervention. Please note that a CRISIS CAN BE HANDLED ON DEMAND by just
calling Psychological Services during operational hours. If a
crisis occurs outside of these hours, contact
Campus Police, x4300.
- Please direct students to
Psychological Services located within Liberal Arts Building, room 110 to
schedule an appointment. Please inform the student that they will be
required to complete some paperwork including a consent for
treatment. It helps to remind them
that everything they discuss is confidential. It also helps if you tell the student
why you are recommending they seek psychological support.
- If you determine that the student
should be seen immediately, please call Psychological Services prior to
bringing the student in or sending him/her over, so that enough
information is gathered in preparation of handling the crisis, and to
ensure that a counselor will be made available to provide assistance to
the student.
- Walk-in hours are set aside each day for students who may not necessarily be experiencing a serious emergency, but who want to be seen the same day. Standing walk-in hours are Monday - Thursday from 10am to 12pm and 3:00p.m. to 4:00pm. Friday walk-in hours are from 10:00am to 11am.
