Therapy services available to students include short-term, solutions-focused individual, group, and family/couple/ friendship therapy. We also provide crisis support and linkage to longer-term therapeutic resources in the community. Therapy is a collaboration between a therapist and a student and is voluntary. Therapy sessions are always confidential with some very limited exceptions (see our "Confidentiality and FERPA" section for more information). Sessions are either in person or via telehealth. During your first appointment, your therapist will complete an initial assessment with you and then work with you to create goals for treatment that make sense to you.
Building resiliency for students is the focus of the wellness services offered at Mendocino College. One-to-one coaching sessions and workshops are available to support your success as a student. Wellness services focus on learning ways to calm your body, build mastery in life skills such as time management, and learning to create and maintain quality relationships through exploration of self and the world around you.
