Wellness and Mental Health Resources

DVC is committed to the health and wellbeing of our students. All DVC students have access to FREE therapy.

Free video and phone therapy is available for all currently registered students through the TimelyCare app. 

 

 

Just download the TimelyCare app in your app store and use your DVC email address and password to log in!  Through TimelyCare, students can receive 12 sessions of Scheduled Counseling per school year (that reset August 1 each year).

Need crisis support in the moment? Students can speak to a therapist anytime by clicking Talk Now in the TimelyCare app.  If you want support using the Timely Care app, contact Nicole Gomes - Program Coordinator for Wellness and Retention at ngomes@dvc.edu

Would you prefer in-person therapy?

If you prefer in-person therapy, please fill out this wellness referral form. Although we usually have a waitlist, we will reach out to you as soon as possible. If you have questions, please call 925-969-2144 or send an email to wellness@dvc.edu

We know so many students are dealing with feelings of isolation, depression, anxiety, and many different types of stress. Our goal is to connect you to the right resources and get you the support you need. See the options below for both our on-campus and off-campus support services as well as our contact information.

Wellness counseling spots are reserved for students who are not already connected with therapy outside of DVC.
