Counseling & Personal Growth

We are in our very busy registration period and our priority is to help you pick classes for the fall semester.  This means that there will be more drop-in counseling available and very few appointments. 

If you don't find any available appointments, please sign up for a virtual drop-in or stop by the office to meet with a counselor in person.

Be ready to wait for approximately 30 minute - 1 hour to speak with a counselor. 

Welcome to the Counseling & Personal Growth Department. We are ready to assist you with all your academic, career, transfer, and personal counseling needs.

To reach our department staff for general inquiries, please call (619) 388-3540 during our business hours, Monday - Thursday, 8:00am - 6:00pm, visit us in room A-366, or email: CityCounseling@sdccd.edu.
