University Counseling Services
University Counseling Services (UCS) wants you to fulfill your personal and professional dreams
and get the most out of your experience at CSUN. We have a remarkable team of psychologists,
marriage and family therapists, social workers, psychiatrists, pre-doctoral interns, postdoctoral
fellows, psychiatric residents and administrative staff. Each team member promises you ethical,
respectful and professional care.
We provide a variety of free short term counseling services to students, including individual
counseling, crisis intervention, group and workshops, and psychiatric consultation. In an effort to
provide high quality professional services to students, UCS now offers an innovative program
specifically tailored to provide quick and useful tools to help our busy CSUN students. After
meeting with a counselor for the initial Intake appointment, most students are enrolled into the RIO
(Recognition, Insight, and Openness) workshop series. At the completion of RIO, students have the
opportunity to meet with their Intake counselor to review their experience in RIO and discuss goals
and resources for their continued growth.
Our mental health professionals offer outreach workshops for faculty, staff and student organizations
on academic, mental health, interpersonal and wellness topics.
If you’re interested in experiencing more confidence in your education, browse the ExCEL programs
that are designed to help you enjoy your learning opportunities at CSUN. Are you looking to get
more involved on campus and raise awareness on current issues that affect our society? Joining one
of our peer education programs can be a wonderful experience that will allow you to connect with
fellow students and the CSUN community.
UCS counselors are available to assist students with urgent situations, emergencies, or serious crises
related to psychological concerns during regular business hours (8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday
through Friday). Please visit our urgent care page for more information. However, if you need
emergency assistance for a life-threatening situation, dial 911 or the campus police at (818) 6772111.
