Rapid Response
LMU students may face an urgent concern that feels too overwhelming to wait for a scheduled appointment. During business hours SPS has an "on-call" therapist for in-person consultation. SPS hours for rapid response:
| Monday | 10 a.m.-noon | 1-4 p.m. |
| Tuesday | 10 a.m.-noon | 1-4 p.m. |
| Wednesday | 10 a.m.-noon | 1-4 p.m. |
| Thursday | 10 a.m.-noon | 1-4 p.m. |
| Friday | 10 a.m.-noon | 1-4 p.m. |
After Hours
A need for a consultation with a therapist may arise when our office is closed. In these instances, students may contact the SPS main line at 310.338.2868 and follow the prompt to speak to our After-Hour therapist. Those using the After-Hour service will receive a follow-up call the next business day from an SPS staff member.
