4. Counseling Center
The Counseling Center provides short-term individual, couples and group counseling. Licensed Professional Counselors are available to provide emotional support to students and assist with the development of social, behavioral and other life skills.
The Counseling Center assists students in coping with obstacles such as depression, anxiety, stress, self-esteem and other issues which might otherwise interfere with educational and personal development. Crisis intervention is a service offered to students who are in serious or immediate emotional distress. Counselors are available to handle emergencies such as suicide attempts, suicidal ideation, reports of sexual assault or attempted sexual assault, physical assaults and other types of crises. Counselors may also suggest referrals to other community and college resources when appropriate. All services are free and confidential.
Counselors are housed on both the Heritage Campus and Windward Campus. Students enrolled at the Del Mar College Oso Creek Campus may choose to travel to the Heritage or Windward Campus to access any student support services offered there. Additionally, full suites of services have already transitioned to being virtually available in response to COVID-19 precautions. However, by August 2022, all student support services are planned to be made available in person at the Oso Creek Campus in at least a temporary location.
