Drop-In Phone/Video Consultations for the Black Community at Cal

How to Schedule a Phone or Video Consultation

Jaiza Jones, LCSW is available to the Black Community at Cal for *phone or video check-ins and/or consultations regarding counseling services, wellness resources, and/or specific mental health needs. Please note that a 'drop-in' is not considered formal therapy. If you would like to schedule a counseling appointment please contact the CAPS office at 510-642-9494.

Warm Greetings, Community!

**To sign up for a phone chat, please leave your name (or initials), email, and THEN click the "Leave a Comment" section, and add phone number for me to call you at the scheduled time, and indicate whether you prefer a phone call or a Zoom video visit. Leaving this information in the "Leave a Comment" section is extremely important so that I can know how to contact to you.

If your preference is to have a video consultation via zoom, please use the following URL at the time selected, and I will start the meeting at the designated time. https://berkeley.zoom.us/j/98383016124

***If you have access to a confidential and private space, located in the state of CA, you are eligible for a video or phone call. If these requirements are not met, we can still connect via phone.

Please note that drop-in hours are not an appropriate setting for urgent concerns. For urgent issues, crisis counseling is still available through the CAPS office. Please call (510) 642-9494 to speak with someone urgently.

You can also call me directly at (510) 643-2893 to schedule a consultation or to request a call back. Please leave a voicemail that CLEARLY states your name and a call back number, and I will return the call as soon as I can.

In peace,
