Psychological Services Program
Building 9, Rm 130
(650) 306-3152
At the Psychological Services Department at Cañada College, we believe that a successful college experience requires, as its foundation, a sense of emotional well-being. To this end, we offer a safe and trusting environment to facilitate mental health care by providing the following type of supportive psychotherapy for registered students at no charge:
- Individual face to face therapy
- Couples’ therapy
Dr. Gena Rhodes is our counselor in Psychological Services. Therapy is provided by appointment only. Please contact Katherine Reite to make an appointment with Gena Rhodes, Ph.D., by calling (650) 306-3259 or by email at rhodesg@smccd.edu to schedule an appointment. Our department is open during the following hours when school is in session:
- Tuesdays 11:3Oam – 7pm
- Wednesdays 9:30am – 3pm
- Fridays 9am – 1pm
Our department has drop-in hours from 12pm to 1pm, Monday to Friday, for when students do not have a prior appointment but need to speak with someone on short notice.
It is our hope that students in need will make use of this service and that faculty will make the necessary recommendations for such support for their students whenever the need arises.
