Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) provides short-term, goal-focused, culturally responsive mental health care for undergraduate and graduate students.
We offer a variety of counseling services to support students' emotional health, including:
All enrolled students are eligible for Mental Health Same Day appointments, which serve as the entry point to care and help identify the most appropriate services within the Center for Well-Being (e.g., counseling, groups, wellness coaching, and referrals).
Faculty/Staff are not eligible for services and are asked to use their employee health benefits for mental health services.
If any of the following apply, please call (651) 962-6750 for assistance.
Connect with off-campus therapists easily and confidentially by using MiResource. You can search by your specific care needs, insurance/payment options, provider identity, and location.
A variety of counseling services are offered including group therapy, psychoeducational workshops, outreach programs, individual counseling, crisis drop-in, 24/7 crisis phone counseling, substance use education and assessment, psychological assessment, and consultation services.
We are committed to providing ethical, respectful and competent psychological services regardless of race, religion, ethnic background, gender, sexual orientation, sexual identity, or disability. You can expect that we will provide high-quality professional service.
We provide a training experience where interns learn both about the clinical work of a practicing psychologist, and about themselves as clinicians, so interns who are highly committed to supervision and to self-reflection do especially well here.
The advanced practicum program offers three counselors-in-training the opportunity to provide individual personal counseling to undergraduate and graduate students in a university counseling center.
The assessment practicum offers training in neurocognitive and psychological assessment for concerns commonly seen in college counseling, including ADHD, PTSD, OCD and learning and mood disorders.

We recognize the multiple negative health impacts of racial and identity-based bias and discrimination on our community. We are committed to identifying and eliminating the disparities in care for those with diverse identities.
We commit to devoting intentional time and energy to increasing our individual and collective cultural competency through professional education, training, and personal self-reflection.
We strive to understand the historical and contemporary experiences of power, privilege, and oppression affecting the health and wellness of students, and to create outreach programming to increase learning through a culture of encounter with and between all members of the community.
