Psychiatric services are available to eligible CSUDH students. Referrals to the staff psychiatrist are made by a Student Psychological Services counselor. For information about how to schedule a psychiatric appointment, please contact 310.243.3818.

Telehealth is the practice of using technology (telephone and/or video conferencing) to virtually deliver psychological counseling. At Student Psychological Services, we utilize a HIPAA-compliant Zoom which provides the highest level of security available to protect your confidential information.
How to make the most of your Zoom sessions:
- Make sure the lighting in your environment is adequate for your therapist to see you
- Be mindful of audio quality and possible noises in your environment that may impact your therapist’s ability to hear you
- Make sure you are in a comfortable, safe, and private space
- If the connection is poor, your therapist may have to call you instead
