Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS)
Welcome to CAPS.
We are a diverse range of cross-disciplinary staff who are personally and ethically committed to providing care that is rooted in cultural humility and social-justice values. With these values, we endeavor to see each student as a unique individual with their own intersectional narrative and recognize that healing could and should look different for different people, communities, and presenting concerns.

CAPS provides an array of mental health services available to students: clinical services, groups and workshops, and options for care outside of CAPS.
