About Us

The Counseling and Psychological Services Center at Alliant International University is located in Building M-14 on the Scripps Ranch campus in San Diego. Our office hours are 10:00AM–6:00PM Mondays through Thursdays. The center is staffed by licensed psychologists and supervised post-doctoral psychology interns. The counseling center provides free* and confidential individual, couples, and group counseling services to all fee-paying students at Alliant.

As a college student you may find yourself entering a new lifestyle and encountering new experiences and stressors unique to being in college. We recognize that sometimes these new experiences can present you with challenges, and we want you to know that when challenges present themselves, you don’t need to go through it alone. At the counseling center, our goal is to provide services designed to enhance the mental and emotional well-being of all students, and we welcome you to stop by.

*For students seeking “Personal/Professional Growth” counseling to meet program requirements, a fee will apply.
