Student Psychological Services
Student Psychological Services provides free, confidential services for LMU students, including individual and group counseling; walk-in consultations; emergency psychological services; and psycho-educational outreach programming. The Center also offers psychological consultation to students, faculty, staff, or parents who are concerned about a student.
Who We Are
Our therapists have advanced degrees, training and experience in one of the helping professions. We are here to help you to develop your full personal, social, and intellectual potential during your years at LMU. We also hope to help you adapt to life's many challenges.
How to Make an Appointment
You can phone us at 310.338.2868 or drop by our office above the Student Health Center. Please arrive fifteen minutes early for your initial appointment, and on time for any follow-up appointments.
Late Cancellation and Missed Appointment Policy
We have a limited amount of counseling appointments available; therefore, we encourage you to keep your scheduled appointments. If you canot keep an appointment, please cancel by calling our receptionist at 310.338.2868 at least 24 hours before the appointment (you may leave a message on our voice mail if you call after hours or on weekends). If you do not show for an appointment without cancelling in advance, or cancel with less than 24 hours notice, your student account will be charged $25.00. Specific to missed appointments, we will assume that you have discontinued treatment and we will not automatically reschedule you for another appointment. You will need to speak to your therapist directly in order to reschedule. Repeated cancellations or missed appointments may result in a loss of eligibility for our services, and referral to services outside the University.

We are located on the second floor of the Fritz Burns Recreation Center, on the north side, directly above the Student Health Center. Our entrance door is pictured below, on the right.
