Student Health and Wellness Services: Personal Counseling
SBCC Student Health & Wellness offers free and confidential individual short-term counseling services. Students must be currently enrolled in a credit class and have paid the student health fee to be eligible for services. The first session is considered an initial intake session where students can explore their concerns with a professional, develop a treatment plan, and determine whether our services fit your needs. Counselors offer short term counseling to students who want to work through specific concerns. They also support students who may be in distress, or going through a crisis. We also provide referrals, if at any point, it is determined with careful clinical assessment that other services are more suitable from off campus providers.
