Personal Growth and Counseling Center

Get Connected

Our philosophy is to value the self-worth of each individual, respect and embrace human diversity, and provide services that aid in the development of healthy behaviors necessary for success. Some students may feel apprehensive visiting a counselor, but it is actually a warm and safe place to discuss what might be worrying you personally, academically, or socially. Discussing your concerns with a counselor simply means you are asking for objective help with a particular aspect of your college life that may have become too overwhelming to deal with alone.

Enrolled students can set up an appointment in the following ways by calling our office at 831-582-3969 from Mon - Fri between 8:30am-5pm or by using our walk-in hours (Mon-Thurs from 1pm - 4pm) if it’s their first appointment. Both telemental health and in-person services are available. Learn more about getting started with us here.
