All registered Berkeley students are eligible for counseling services. Students can come in to talk about deciding on a major, learning about interests and abilities, clarifying career goals and exploring a choice of majors and career options. A student can also come in to discuss concerns about how it is to be at Berkeley, how to cope with a personal crisis, how to deal with concerns about relationships with family or others, or how to overcome learning and concentration problems. The counselors are a multicultural, multidisciplinary group of professional social workers, psychologists and psychiatrists. Working with a counselor in an interactive and nonjudgmental environment can aid self-understanding and resolution of problems.
All sessions are completely confidential.
Psychiatric medication evaluations are also provided as needed. CPS is a part of University Health Services and is located on the third floor of the Tang Center, Room 3284. There are minimal fees for counseling beyond two sessions. Call 642-9494 to sign up. Short-term individual counseling to assist students in their academic and career planning.
