Services

Individual Counseling

Short-term individual counseling involves one-on-one meetings with a counselor, with each session lasting approximately 45 minutes. During the counseling process, you and your therapist will collaborate to establish and work towards specific counseling goals.

While there are no strict guidelines on what to discuss during sessions, most therapists agree that active participation can enhance the benefits of the experience. The psychological staff at CSUDH believes it is essential for you to feel comfortable and safe in counseling. You are in control of what, when, and how much you choose to share.

If you are interested in counseling services, please call our office at (310) 243-3818 for more information.

Support Groups

Group counseling is a highly effective form of psychotherapy that involves meeting with a group of individuals facing similar concerns. These sessions provide a supportive environment where participants can share their experiences and listen to others.

Some groups require a weekly commitment, while others are open for students to join as needed. Certain groups may also have pre-screenings to ensure a good fit for both you and the group.

If you’re interested in participating, please call our office for more information on how to sign up. Consent forms must be acknowledged in the Toro Health Patient Portal to join the services. Since groups are limited in size, we encourage you to reach out as soon as possible. Please note that group offerings may vary from semester to semester based on student needs.

Below is the schedule for Support Groups:

Telehealth Services

Telehealth is the practice of using technology—such as telephone and video conferencing—to deliver psychological counseling virtually. At Student Psychological Services, we use HIPAA-compliant Zoom, which provides the highest level of security to protect your confidential information.

How to Make the Most of Your Zoom Sessions:

Ensure the lighting in your environment is adequate for your therapist to see you clearly.
Be mindful of audio quality and any background noise that may affect your therapist's ability to hear you.
Choose a comfortable, safe, and private space for your session.
If the connection is poor, your therapist may need to call you instead.
