Mission Statement








Cal Poly Counseling Services promotes the development of holistic student emotional health.  As mental health professionals, we serve the campus community through advocacy and the provision of confidential, accessible services.


Message from Counseling Services

Welcome Cal Poly students! We are happy you have chosen to take a step toward your emotional health and wellbeing.  We are here to help you develop and maintain the skills integral to mental health through hands-on workshops; individual, couples and group therapy; crisis intervention; consultations with parents, faculty, staff; and mental health trainings.

Counseling Services is staffed by licensed mental health professionals with graduate degrees in clinical and counseling psychology.  We work with a range of students from different cultural, ethnic and religious backgrounds; students who want to talk about anxiety, poor academic performance, traumatic experiences, suicidal thoughts, substance use, or anything else that might be going on for them.  Rather than advice-giving, we offer a particular kind of listening (called "active listening") and an expertise in human development, along with strategies to support your personal, social, and emotional growth. You might be surprised how much talking with a professional can help. Our services are free, confidential, and available to all currently enrolled students. We look forward to working with you.

  • Currently enrolled Cal Poly students
