Welcome to Mental Health Counseling
About Our Services
Mental Health Counseling provides short-term individual counseling services to help students decrease stress for academic and personal success. We collaboratively work with students to learn coping strategies and problem-solving skills in a confidential setting. Crisis intervention and referrals to on-campus and off-campus community resources are also provided.
Mental Health Counseling is available at the K2-102 Health Services Office. We currently offer both in-person and tele-mental health appointments via video sessions to currently enrolled students. To schedule an appointment at Miramar College Health Services, call (619) 388-7881. A Mental Health Counselor will follow up with you during business hours to conduct a screening, check if these services are a good fit for you, get the process started, and/or connect you to additional supportive resources.
We offer a limited number of sessions for currently enrolled students. We will refer to community providers for those who will benefit from an extended therapeutic relationship or need long-term services, including for addictions or psychiatric medication. Miramar Mental Health does not provide emergency or after-hours mental health services.
