Counseling
If you are currently experiencing a crisis situation, please call 988, 911 or contact CRISIS CONNECTIONS: 1-866-427-4747 (24-HR Crisis Line)!
College employees supporting students in crisis and not able to connect with a counselor should consult with their supervisors for immediate needs.
Spring Quarter 2024 Service Update:
Counselors will have limited availability from March 21-March 31 (excluding weekends) and will return to full staffing on April 1. Please note that counselors’ professional and personal obligations may require deviations from the listed days and hours.
Requests for consultation and/or non-emergency career, educational, and personal counseling appointments should be sent to southcounseling@seattlecolleges.edu. College employees should consult/follow up with their supervisor during immediate/crisis needs.

Counselors are faculty members who help students and prospective students establish and achieve educational, career, and personal goals based on a comprehensive assessment of their personalities, interests, skills, values and other resources. South Seattle College has two full-time counselors who hold master’s degrees in counseling.
