Common Questions
Is counseling really confidential?
Yes — your sessions are completely private. Counselors are legally required to keep everything you share confidential, with very limited exceptions (immediate safety concerns). Nothing is shared with instructors, advisors, or other students.
How do I make an appointment?
You can schedule an appointment by calling the counseling office directly at (435) 248-1848, or email kherrera@tooeletech.edu. Walk-ins are also welcome when counselors are available.
Is there a cost for students?
No — mental health counseling at Tooele Technical College is completely free for currently enrolled students. There are no co-pays, hidden fees, or insurance requirements.
What if I need help outside of office hours?
For urgent support at any hour, call or text 988 to reach the national Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. You can also call 911. For campus emergencies, call (435) 248-1900.
Do I need a referral from an instructor or advisor?
No referral is needed. Any enrolled student can reach out to a counselor directly at any time. You don't need permission, a diagnosis, or a specific reason — if something is weighing on you, that's enough.
Ready to talk?
Reaching out is a sign of strength, not weakness. We're here for you.
