Student Psychological Services Services Provided Using Student Psychological Services SPS Staff Student Psychological Services is a program designed to serve eligible SRJC students who are experiencing psychological difficulties or stress which affects their ability to function effectively in social, academic, or work situations. If you feel you need assistance, call early in the semester. SPS often has a waiting list for therapy appointments, especially as each semester progresses. Call Student Health Services for the current drop-in schedule. Please do not use drop-in services if you are receiving treatment elsewhere, contact your own therapist if you need immediate care.
Interns are mature, highly trained individuals with previous experience as therapists.
Services Provided SPS provides short-term therapy for individuals, couples, family, and groups. Length of therapy is mutually decided by the student and the therapist. It has been shown that the quality of the relationship between client and therapist, not the length of therapy, is most important in allowing people to make desired changes in their lives. However, if you or your therapist feel that the issues you are addressing are more appropriate for longer term therapy, you will be assisted in finding a therapist in the community. These groups provide a safe, supportive environment within which members can work on difficult personal issues.
