Our goal at the San Diego City College Mental Health Counseling Center is to help students benefit fully from the college experience by supporting personal, social, and emotional well-being. Without help, stress and problems can intensify, impacting personal wellness and academic success. Our confidential and culturally sensitive services include short-term individual, couples and group counseling, crisis intervention, and outreach/prevention. We also provide consultation and referral services to students, staff, and faculty. No problem is too big or small when you meet with one of our counselors. We help students with a variety of issues, including, but not limited to:
- Addictions and compulsions (alcohol, drugs, gambling, internet)
- Communication Issues
- Conflict with/or separation from family
- Cultural issues and/or adjustment
- Depression and/or suicidal thoughts
- Difficulty coping with life pressures
- Friendship and love
- Grief or loss
- Identity issues
- Isolation and loneliness
- Life transitions
- Parenting and/or caregiver issues
- Rape or other trauma
- Relationship violence
- Shyness
- Self-doubt/self-esteem
- Stress and anxiety
- Worry
