Mt. SAC provides short-term mental health counseling. In short-term counseling, a student and therapist work together to establish attainable goals that focus on understanding the basics of your mental health, problem solving, skills training, decision-making, and social skills. Services are confidential, with a few exceptions mandated by law. Learn more about your Protected Health Information.

Our mental health counseling services are not intended to provide long-term care or psychiatric supervision (treatment that includes psychiatric medication), as there is no psychiatrist on staff. Students requiring long-term mental health needs (i.e., persons experiencing moderate to severe depression, bipolar symptoms, substance use, eating disorders, psychosis, suicidal behavior, or ongoing crises) will be referred to off-campus services where they can receive treatment that includes psychiatric supervision.

Please contact us at (909) 274-4400 to establish your initial screening appointment with a licensed mental health therapist, and a friendly and qualified therapist can meet with you soon.

If you are an employee looking for counseling, please contact the MT SAC Employee Counseling Center at (909) 274-6211 or email employeecounselingcenter@mtsac.edu

Mindfulness & Meditation:

Allow us to support you with mindfulness, meditation, breath work, and healing sound sessions as a way to cope with life experiences. In these sessions, we will create a space to connect, learn, and develop self-care practices that can be used in our daily lives. As we navigate both online and in-person classes, and all the other changes in our lives, join us to improve your overall well-being.

In a Mindfulness & Meditation Session you can expect to be guided through exercises and practices that will assist you in becoming more aware of the present moment, learning to be connected to your body and physical cues to assist you in developing essential self-care techniques. You can expect to learn breathing techniques, strategies to help with focus and feeling well-balanced, self-talk strategies, and much more.

Sessions have resumed to being in-person. During sessions you are in full control of the level of participation that you desire to engage. The goal is to give you an opportunity to connect with yourself and others and learn strategies that you can practice on your own.

Join us in person at our beautiful planetarium for a relaxing mindfulness and meditation session filled with striking visuals and tranquil sounds. We will have time to connect, breathe, rest, and lighten the daily challenges of school and life.
