CAPS (Counseling And Psychological Services) provides counseling to individuals and groups as well as workshops and outreach programs. CAPS has a team of highly qualified and experienced counseling professionals who are dedicated to helping students work through developmental needs, emotional difficulties, adjustments, and crises.

In meeting the counseling needs of undergraduate, graduate, and professional students, the goal of CAPS is to help students, faculty, and administrators maximize the total learning experience at Northwestern University.

CAPS has offices on both the Evanston and Chicago Campuses. For both campuses, call CAPS at (847) 491-2151.

Evanston Campus:
Location: Searle Hall, 2nd Floor, 633 Emerson Street.
Hours: 8:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Monday-Friday

Chicago Campus:
Location: 710 N. Lake Shore Drive, Abbott Hall, 5th Floor
Hours: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday: 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 pm

If you need CAPS services, call 847-491-2151. When you call, you will schedule a same-day phone appointment with a counselor. The counselor will speak with you for about 15 minutes and collect some information about you and what you need one. The counselor will then schedule you for a CAPS intake appointment or will help connect you to other services on campus or in the community. You may also be given a same-day crisis appointment if you need. This procedure is the same for the Evanston and Chicago campuses.

If you have an emergency after hours, please call the Crisis line at 847-491-8100 for either campus.
