Affordable individual counseling for $10 per session

The Center for Enriching Relationships (CER), in partnership with Point Loma Nazarene University’s Master of Arts in Clinical Counseling (MACC) offers low-cost counseling provided by supervised therapists-in-training.

Sessions are $10 each, and services are FREE for current PLNU students and staff.

How It Works

By completing the form below, you will be placed on our waitlist to meet with the next available therapist-in-training. These services are available year-round.

Each therapist-in-training provides a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 8 sessions per client.

Please note: Because these services are part of a graduate clinical training program, you must consent to audio and video recording of your sessions for educational and supervision purposes.

Recordings are reviewed only by the therapist-in-training and their supervisor and are destroyed after review.

If you are comfortable with these requirements, please complete the form below to join the waitlist.
