Counseling Services

Serving Green River Students

Counseling Services provides short-term mental health counseling and self-care/wellness education to Green River students. Workshops and consultation services are offered for staff, faculty, and student organizations. Services are free and confidential.

Professional mental health counselors support students by helping them explore emotional concerns, develop new awareness and skills, and mobilize their existing strengths, qualities and abilities. While some people who seek counseling have chronic emotional difficulties, most are dealing with normal life events and are simply in need of an objective listener - someone who doesn't judge and who can help them see new alternatives.

Make an Appointment

Counseling is a collaborative effort between the student and his/her counselor. Our goal is to provide an open, supportive, and confidential environment for the student to address problems

To schedule an appointment Please note: Wait times vary depending on when in the quarter a student is seeking services. Typical wait time is 7-10 days for an intake (first) appointment.
