Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS)

Campus life commonly presents students with academic, emotional, and social concerns. At certain times, students may need support to face these challenges. Recognizing the need for help is a sign of strength and is often the first step in effectively managing difficulties. Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) provides free professional psychological and psychiatric services to undergraduate, graduate, and professional students who need support in fulfilling their academic, social, and personal objectives. This past year has been particularly difficult for many due to the pandemic, social Isolation and the political and civil unrest that has continued to unfold around us. To ensure seamless, safe care for all, CAPS has expanded their services to include virtual visits. CAPS’ counseling program provides confidential individual psychotherapy, which is primarily brief in nature and problem-focused. Other counseling options include assessment and referral services, medication evaluations and maintenance, career assessment, and career development counseling. CAPS also offers group counseling, including several supportive interventions for special populations and themes such as eating concerns, mindfulness, and anxiety management. Mental health outreach and education occur through targeted programming, selfdevelopment through workshops, CAPS’ online resources, a stress management program, and classroom lectures. CAPS’ offerings seek to foster the intellectual, social, and emotional growth of all students by promoting self-awareness, wellness principles, lifelong learning, and personal responsibility. The CAPS liaison program provides linkages to all schools, College Houses, various student services departments, and affiliated medical facilities. Training is provided to staff and faculty across campus as well as for peer educators and College House staff.
