Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS)
Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) assists students in resolving problems which interfere with their optimal functioning.

Studentswith concerns requiring longer-term, comprehensive, or specialized therapy, medication prescription, or other services not provided by CAPS, are referred to professionals outside of the university. Interested students must first schedule a phone triage appointment with CAPS to discern if brief therapy is appropriate for their mental health needs.
If you need treatment that extends beyond CAPS scope of services, including off-campus mental health services in the Bay Area or services outside of CA, CAPS or the Dean of Students Office can provide resources and advice about the process of obtaining these services.In addition, student’s residing outside of CA ,with mental health needs that can be addressed within a brief therapy model, may be eligible for remote services through UWill.
