Brief Treatment Model
At Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS), we use a brief counseling treatment model that is time-limited and focused on helping students achieve specific goals or make desired changes.
For students receiving individual counseling, most concerns can typically be addressed within 8-10 sessions. To ensure we can provide support to as many students as possible, individual sessions are generally scheduled every other week.
If a student requires long-term or intensive support beyond what our brief counseling model offers, our counselors will provide a referral to appropriate community resources for ongoing treatment.
Service Limitations
Our center primarily offers short-term counseling.
For long-term therapy, specialized treatment, or medication management, we provide referrals to external providers.
Due to the nature of our brief treatment model, we cannot provide Emotional Support Animal (ESA) Letters.
