Counseling Services

The Conservatory has partnered with two area counseling centers, the Golden Gate Integral Counseling Center and the Psychological Services Center, in order to provide Conservatory students with a limited number of one-hour counseling sessions at the Conservatory's expense. These sessions can be used to assist students to discuss current circumstances including time management, financial worries and stress, to address musical concerns such as performance anxiety and career goals, and to assess personal or emotional-psychological problems.

Please note that all collegiate students are permitted eight (8) sessions at the Conservatory's expense. It is the student's responsibility to monitor the number of sessions utilized. Once the student has used his/her allowance of Conservatory-sponsored sessions, he/she will be responsible for the cost of any additional sessions. Students needing to exceed their session limit may speak with the Associate Dean for Student Life for additional referrals.

Students may schedule counseling sessions directly through the counseling centers:
