Visit Our Virtual Office

We offer the same caring services online by Phone & Zoom!

Now that Foothill has moved to a Virtual Campus, our Psychological Services counselors are  operating remotely with regular appointments and drop-in hours.

The process to make an appointment is still the same.  The difference is we will meet by Zoom or telephone until we are able to come back to campus. Our physical office is currently closed.

Urgent & Drop-In Counseling Via Zoom Or Phone Available

Counselors are available Monday-Friday at Noon–1 p.m. for brief 15–20-minute drop-in appointments.

Please contact our office at 650.949.7910 a few minutes before 12 Noon on the day you would like to be seen, and you will be provided the Zoom information on a first-come, first-serve basis.  

Make an Appointment

To make an appointment, call Patricia Meza Parada in Psychological Services at 650.949.7910 during our service hours or visit our virtual office.
