Psychological Counseling Services


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

T
his service provides assistance to students who are 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.

Privacy and confidentiality are a fundamental right of all counseling clients. Student Health Services must adhere to HIPAA privacy regulations, which means no information about your participation is released to anyone without your written consent.  No information appears in any other departmental or college records without your prior written consent. 

Good things to know....
...Appointments are usually 45-50 minutes in length.
...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. Students are asked to complete
 a pre-appointment intake packet.

The pain is real. Remember that the next time someone tells you to "snap out of it" or "quit feeling sorry for yourself." More college students struggle with depression, anxiety and other issues than you'd think. Nearly half have felt so depressed that it was difficult to function. Through Half of Us, learn about the warning signs, find help at Shasta College (listed under "State" & "School") and connect with students across the country. Half of Us is way too many to be dealing with this alone.
