About CAPS
Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) has a long history of extensive training, with an APA-accredited Doctoral Internship in psychology.
CAPS provides:
- A full range of clinical, training, outreach, and consultation services
- 24-hour rotational on-call system for afterhours emergencies where we provide consultation and intervention in collaboration with a contracted third-party agency
- Extensive group therapy program without treatment limits
- The Stress Clinic (mindfulness, meditation, and biopsychosocial interventions for anxiety and mood regulation)
- Question-Persuade-Refer suicide prevention
- On-campus informal drop-in consultation for students
- Other outreach programs for college mental-health issues, both in-person and virtual
- Clinical services during the pandemic are provided in the telemental-health format to minimize the risk of COVID-19 transmission. When clinicians rotate to provide in-office presence, they follow safety procedures to limit the spread of COVID-19, including de-densifying staff at the office, and interacting with students through onsite telemental-health sessions.
CAPS is committed to diversity in all forms and participates in continuing professional development in this area. Individual psychotherapy at CAPS is short-term, therefore training at CAPS offers extensive opportunity to enhance skills in brief treatment. On the other hand, a few selected longer-term clients are available to Postdoctoral Fellows to round out the training experience.
CAPS has 22 professional staff, including 15 psychologists, 2 Licensed Clinical Professional Counselors, 3 psychiatrists, and 2 Licensed Clinical Social Workers. The internship at CAPS has three full-time Doctoral Interns.
