Services
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, all CAPS sessions except crisis sessions will be offered virtually. We believe that being able to see facial expressions is critical to the clinical encounter and will meet with students via Zoom until further notice. If you would like to know more about virtual counseling and its potential benefit to you, please contact CAPS.
Our services are intended to be both preventive and therapeutic. We have extensive experience counseling students with a broad range of concerns, including:
- adjustment struggles
- anxiety
- body image concerns
- depression
- eating concerns
- grief
- OCD
- panic disorders
- relationship difficulties
- sexual abuse
- sexual assault
- sexuality
- substance abuse
- suicidal ideation
- trauma
CAPS On Call
As always, CAPS On-Call is also available for consultation 24 hours a day, every day of the year at 610-328-7768. There are multiple types of services available for urgent mental health needs. View available emergency resources.
