You can talk with a Counselor without making an appointment by using our Drop-In hours.

Drop-In is available on a first come, first served basis. You are welcome to enter the virtual or in-person waiting area up to 30 minutes before the Drop-In start time. The virtual Drop-In waiting area can be accessed at https://doxy.me/grccounselingservices. The in-person Drop-In waiting area is in SA 230.

Fall Quarter 2023 Drop-In hours TBD

If you click the virtual Drop-In link during the Drop-In hour, and do not receive a response within 5 minutes, the Counselor is likely already meeting with another student. Please feel free to contact us to schedule an appointment. If you click the virtual Drop-In link outside of the Drop-In hour, a Counselor will not be available.

If you are in crisis, please call the King County 24/hour crisis line at (866) 427-4747 or contact the Crisis Text Line by texting "HOME" to 741-741. In an emergency, please call 911 or go to the nearest hospital.

Serving Green River Students

Counseling Services provides short-term mental health counseling and self-care/wellness education to Green River students. Workshops and consultation services are offered for staff, faculty, and student organizations. Services are free and confidential.

Professional mental health counselors support students by helping them explore emotional concerns, develop new awareness and skills, and mobilize their existing strengths, qualities and abilities. While some people who seek counseling have chronic emotional difficulties, most are dealing with normal life events and are simply in need of an objective listener - someone who doesn't judge and who can help them see new alternatives.

Workshops and consultation services are offered for staff, faculty, and student organizations.
