Counselors are a multicultural group of social workers, psychologists, and psychiatrists.
Any Berkeley student can come in to talk about deciding on a major, pinpointing interests and abilities, clarifying career goals, coping with personal crisis, dealing with concerns about family or other relationships, feelings of anxiety or loneliness, stress, gay, lesbian or bisexual issues, what it's like to be at Berkeley, the effects of racism, handling eating disorders, or any of the many issues we all encounter. Talking with a counselor in a confidential, nonjudgmental atmosphere can aid in self-understanding and in solution of personal issues. There is no charge for the initial counseling consultation or the first two appointments following the consultation. This clinic provides psychotherapy and referral services for adults, children, families, and couples. Psychological assessments, consultations, and community and preventative interventions are also available.
