Students sometimes encounter difficulties which challenge their coping and undermine success in their academic and personal lives. These difficulties might include academic problems, problems with friends or family, depression, anxiety, procrastination, problems resulting from childhood abuse or sexual assault, low self-esteem, anxiety about dating or sexuality, eating problems or disorders, alcohol or substance misuse, or career indecision.
Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) provides a variety of services to help students address the challenges and difficulties they face. These services are designed to help students understand themselves better, create and maintain satisfying relationships, improve their academic performance, and make healthy and satisfying career and life choices. We are dedicated to helping students by providing brief counseling services, or - if more intensive or specialized care is needed - making referrals to health care providers in the community.
The staff at CAPS are strongly committed to affirming diversity in a broad sense, to treating all with dignity and respect, and to opposing discrimination, prejudice, and oppression.
