Counseling

The Counseling Center provides confidential, professional support to BBCC students in all programs. Students can meet with the counselor of their choice, and services follow a “whole person” approach to help students address personal challenges that may impact their academic success. Counselors assist with decision-making, goal-setting, and referrals to off-campus professionals when needed.

International students can receive specialized advising tailored to their unique needs.

Appointments are preferred, but drop-in sessions may be available. To schedule an appointment with Jaime Garza, Heidi Gephart, or MariAnne Zavala-Lopez, log into “My Apps” through the BBCC homepage, under My Success Network click on Counseling. Students can also schedule at the Student Services Desk in the 1400 bldg., or call (509) 793 -2035.

RCW 28B.10.295

988 has been designated as the new three-digit dialing code that will route callers to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (now known as the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline), and is now active across the United States.

When people call, text, or chat 988, they will be connected to trained counselors that are part of the existing Lifeline network. These trained counselors will listen, understand how their problems are affecting them, provide support, and connect them to resources if necessary.

The previous Lifeline phone number (1-800-273-8255) will always remain available to people in emotional distress or suicidal crisis.
