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 and qualified to assist in 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. Both in-person and virtual services are available. 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 or request a virtual telehealth appointment.

To schedule an appointment, call (361) 698-1586. To learn more about the Counseling Center Services, visit the Counseling Center section of the Del Mar College website (https://delmar.edu/offices/counseling).
