Concerned About your Son or Daughter?

If you think your son or daughter would benefit from counseling services, our therapists want to talk directly with him or her by phone for a brief 10-15 minute consultation. This conversation will allow the therapist to hear his or her concerns and help identify the best way for him or her to get the help needed.

You are also welcome to call and discuss your concerns and how you might best be able to help your son/daughter. Call (619) 594-5220 between the hours of 9am and 4pm and ask for a consultation with one of our therapists.

Please remember that if at any time your son or daughter is struggling with a psychological emergency, a counselor will be made available to speak with him/her today.

For example, if your son/daughter is:

  • Grieving the recent death of a family member or friend
  • The survivor of a rape or physical assault
  • Considering harming himself/herself or someone else

We also encourage students to use San Diego’s free 24-hour counseling access line at 1-800-479-3339. The well-trained professional staff are not only available 24 hours a day for immediate assistance regarding a psychological emergency, but are also very skilled in locating additional counseling resources in our San Diego community.
