Counseling services

CalArts provides the students with counseling services throughout the school year. Both counselors are Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists and have experience and skills ideally suited for CalArts students. Registered students are allowed twelve individual counseling sessions per school year. The counseling staff can also provide workshops and information on a wide variety of issues and are available to help coordinate student self-help groups. In addition they can make referrals to outside professionals and agencies when appropriate, such as when longer term therapy is indicated.
