Psychological Counseling Services

Provided by Becky Bogener, LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker)
and National University MFT Interns as available.

This service provides assistance to students struggling with stress or troubling personal problems. Real life problems such as work stressors, financial concerns, illness, family pressures, loneliness and relationship issues can be distracting, making it difficult to concentrate on academic work.
Our goal is to assist you with brief personal counseling to deal with the life challenges that can hinder your academic progress. Brief therapy takes into account the uniqueness of each student’s cultural, ethnic, and personal experience.

Student Health counseling services are not meant to be long-term. Community referrals must be made in the event longer term interventions are required. 

Good things to know....

• Appointments are usually 45-50 minutes in length.
• Students are asked to complete a pre-appointment intake packet.
• Students arriving more than 15 minutes late for an appointment will be
  re-scheduled.
• "Walk-in" times offer 15 minutes of focused, brief intervention.
• Please call if you need to re-schedule an appointment so we can offer
  the hour to someone else.
• Two consecutive "no-shows" will result in the student being directed to
  the "walk-in" times.

Please call the Student Health Services office at (530) 242-7580 to schedule an appointment.
