Services Offered in CAPS
Individual Counseling
Counselors at CAPS provide individual counseling and therapy to students experiencing a range of difficulties which may include:
- Personal problems
- Academic difficulties
- Family, peer, and roommate concerns
- Feeling depressed
- Managing stress
- Eating concerns
- Difficulty making career decisions
Group Counseling
Research has found that group counseling is as effective as individual counseling. When the issues involve relationships, group counseling is often more effective because members can practice new ways of relating with others in the group. Please see our Groups page for more information about groups that CAPS is currently offering.
Couples Counseling
Sometimes the issue is centered around one particular relationship. When that is the case, couples counseling may provide an effective way for the relationship pair to work through the difficulty.
Biofeedback
Biofeedback services focus on stress management and utilizing technology to enhance awareness and build helpful skills. Please see our Biofeedback page for more information.
Psychiatric Services
Students can consult with a physician for diagnosis and types of medication management for mental health concerns. The appointments are coordinated through a counselor in CAPS. Students using this service need to be clients of CAPS and have an ongoing relationship with one of the counselors. This helps ensure effective care.
