The short answer: Six visits renew each semester. Confirm whether health-fee eligibility continues during summer before relying on campus care between terms.¹

Start with Student Health Center Mental Health Services

Book it: Call the Student Health Center or use its patient portal to request counseling. The current phone number is 805-378-1413. Open the official service page →¹

Who can use it: Currently enrolled Moorpark students who paid the student health fee. What it costs: Six counseling appointments per semester are included for eligible students.¹

The limit that matters

Six free mental-health counseling appointments per semester. This is the fact to confirm again at intake, because staffing and campus rules can change during the academic year.¹

Medication and longer-term therapy

Psychiatry: Medication management is not listed as a routine campus counseling service. When campus care is too short: Health Center clinicians provide community referrals when a student needs ongoing or specialized treatment.²

If you use a parent’s insurance, billing paperwork can disclose that care was used. Read the student privacy and EOB route →. If money is the obstacle, compare Medi-Cal →, sliding-scale care →, and California-wide telehealth →.

What to ask in the first appointment

  1. What is my individual-session limit this term or year, and does intake count?
  2. If I need weekly or specialized care, who starts the outside referral?
  3. Is psychiatry separate, and does it require a campus or insurance referral?
  4. What can I use while I am waiting: a group, same-day consultation, or virtual care?
  5. Will any charge or insurance explanation be sent to someone else?
