Counseling & Psychological Services

Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) is open and available to help you. For your health and safety during the pandemic, our services are virtual.

CAPS offers a wide range of services for undergraduate and graduate students including wellness and self-help options; group, individual, and couples counseling; crisis intervention; psychiatric services; and community education and outreach services for the University community.

"While our path forward will be challenging, it is my hope that together we will model inclusion and anti-racism on every campus and become a national leader in higher education in these efforts."

President Barron's message on recent hate-filled Zoom incidents

"As a University, we support the ideals of freedom of speech, free expression and the respectful exchange of opposing ideas and beliefs. But we must also speak out against violence in all its forms, and particularly when it is used to undermine the fundamental institutions of our democracy."

-President Barron's message on Jan. 6 violence in Washington, D.C.
