Counseling And Psychological Services (CPS) offers a variety of counseling services for personal, academic, social, or family concerns. These counseling services include: individual or personal counseling, group counseling, couples and family counseling, crisis counseling, and behavioral stress reduction services.

Eligibility

All currently enrolled undergraduate and graduate students at the University of California at Santa Cruz are eligible to utilize on-campus counseling services free of charge. We also provide services to those in important relationships with the students who seek our services, such as, a partner, family member(s), roommate, or friend when appropriate. Faculty and staff are eligible for one session for referral to appropriate services off campus. Students who are UC Extension students are not eligible for CPS services.

How To Make An Appointment

Appointments can be made in the following two ways: The quickest way to make a first time appointment is to either visit our Central Office at the Cowell Student Health Center Building in Room 105 or call at (831) 459-2628 and you will be assisted by one of the Front Office staff. The CPS Central Office hours are Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The other way to make an appointment with a specific CPS staff member is to call that staff member directly. It is the prerogative of the CPS staff member to either accept the referral directly or to redirect the request to the CPS Central Office.
