Counseling Services

If you, or someone you know, is suffering from a mental health emergency (threat of immediate physical harm to yourself or someone else), call 911.

Oak Valley College retains the support of several local/regional counseling services. For non-emergency services, you may contact any of the service providers below or request support from the Dean, the President’s Office, or any of the theology faculty (for pastoral counseling). Students may also seek support regarding substance (drug) or alcohol abuse. If you go through your church, you may be able to receive free or reduced cost services as well.

For additional resources or general questions, call 909-554-3814 or email info@oakvalleycollege.org. Every effort will be made to maintain strict confidentiality about your specific concerns.
