• Once you have completed all forms, call to make your appointment: 805.378.1413.

Please arrive on time for your appointments. Missed appointments reduce our capacity to provide services to other students. If you are unable to keep your appointment, and to avoid the $10.00 late/no show fee, please call to cancel or reschedule as far in advance as possible, preferably 24 hours.

Same day cancellations or a no- show counseling session will count against your session limit for that semester.

Repeated cancellations or missed appointments may result in the termination of services.
