The short answer: No visit copay is published for limited campus care; no outside-copay fund was verified.¹

Start with Dean-supervised counseling referral

Book it: Use the current student handbook’s counseling contact or ask the Dean for the current appointment route. The current phone number is 805-525-4417. Open the official service page →¹

Who can use it: Currently enrolled undergraduates; the college does not offer graduate programs. What it costs: The handbook describes limited counseling without charge.¹

The limit that matters

Limited appointment-based counseling; no numerical allowance is published. This is the fact to confirm again at intake, because staffing and campus rules can change during the academic year.¹

If you need help today

Contact the Dean or counseling contact during campus hours. After hours: No college-operated 24/7 counseling line was verified; use 988 or 911.²

In crisis? Call or text 988 — free, 24/7.

Medication and longer-term therapy

Psychiatry: No campus psychiatry service was verified. When campus care is too short: Ask the Dean for a community referral when limited counseling is not enough.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?
