Services

WWCC Counseling provides assistance with emotional, psychological, social, and behavioral factors that impact your academic success at WWCC. Our goal is to assist a diverse population of learners to create and accomplish personal, educational, and career goals in an environment that fosters each student’s potential. Counseling services are free of charge.

We offer short-term, individual counseling, (approximately 6 sessions) or brief, therapeutic check-in appointments for students already engaged in counseling services in the community. If you require services that are outside the scope of assistance provided by our department and/or involve long-term, intensive, specialized, care or hospitalization you may be referred to an appropriate mental health provider in the community.

Counselors hold master’s degrees in a behavioral health field and are credentialed through the Washington State Department of Health.

WWCC Walla Walla Campus Counseling Services

Walla Walla Counseling Services are currently provided using telemental health. Telemental health is the practice of delivering mental health services using several electronic, often internet-based, technology tools (i.e. Zoom for videoconferencing). Services are provided with the counselor and student being in two separate locations in the state of Washington.

Licensure restrictions prohibit WWCC Counselors to provide telemental health services to any student that is not physically located in Washington at the time of the service. For those students, that are not located in Washington, please contact Caley Moyer or Paris Davis for information regarding resources and referrals to providers in your area.

To schedule an appointment please contact Caley Moyer or Paris Davis directly. Our business hours are Monday-Friday 8:30am-4:30pm during fall, winter, and spring quarters.

If you are concerned about your mental health safety, call the Walla Walla County Crisis Response Unit at 509-524-2999. Any emergent medical needs or concerns should be directed to your healthcare provider or emergency services (911).

After scheduling your first session please complete the following forms and return to your counselor via your student email account or by mail to WWCC Counseling Services, 500 Tausick Way, Walla Walla, WA 99362.

If you are unable to download and print these forms, please contact us and the forms can be mailed or arrangements to pick them up on campus can be made.

Confidentiality

Please take into consideration that confidentiality will be considered by the Counseling Service at every point but cannot be guaranteed when communicating with students by phone, email, or internet. We are attempting to provide the highest level of service to students under these difficult circumstances. Your understanding of the circumstances and the possible limits to confidentiality is implicit in your communication with the Counseling Service.

Information disclosed by the student during counseling is protected under confidentiality regulations of Washington law (RCW 18.225.100), but information may be released under the following exceptions as mandated by Washington law (RCW 18.225.105):

  1. With your written authorization for use and disclosure of information, or in the case of death or disability, the authorization of your personal representative.
  2. To any individual if the counselor reasonably believes that disclosure will avoid or minimize a serious, foreseeable or imminent risk to you or any other individual.
  3. When there is reasonable cause to believe that a child, dependent adult or vulnerable person is being or has been abused or neglected.
  4. When the student waives the privilege of confidentiality by bringing charges, complaints, lawsuit or dispute against the counselor.
  5. If the counselor receives a subpoena from the court to provide information. If this happens, only the minimum information necessary to satisfy the court’s order will be provided.
