Let's Talk

Let's Talk: Individual Drop-In Consultations

Let's Talk is an individual drop-in service where CSULB students can occasionally have a brief and informal consultation with a counselor to access support, gain perspective, explore resources, and discuss how counseling might be helpful.  "Let's Talk" is designed for students who are wanting to talk to a counselor casually.  Let's Talk is not formal therapy, and you do not need to be a CAPS client to attend. It is not appropriate for students needing urgent help. If you are in crisis, please contact our CAPS office at 562.985.4001 to speak with a crisis counselor. Visits are first come, first serve. Please wait in the zoom waiting room until the counselor admits you

Let’s Talk Consultations Could Be Used To: 

  • learn more about mental health resources and virtual therapy services
  • talk about stress and anxiety related to academics and/or relationship concerns
  • talk about challenges related to current events
  • learn about healthy ways to cope with stress and other concerns
  • get emotional support and identify ways to increase social connection during shelter-in-place
  • create a menu of therapy options to consider, or identify a future plan of action with CAPS
