Counseling & Psychological Services (CAPS)

CAPS provides comprehensive psychological services for the student population at Emory. Undergraduate students and graduate and professional school students utilize the services for individual psychotherapy, couples therapy, and interpersonal process or support groups. In addition to direct clinical services, CAPS places a priority on providing consultation, outreach and preventative services for the university community. CAPS has a multidisciplinary staff comprised of licensed psychologists, licensed clinical social workers, and graduate interns and fellows in psychology and social work. All of the training staff at CAPS are involved in the provision of direct clinical services. Along with psychotherapy, staff and interns provide consultative and outreach services, a Stress Management Clinic, psychoeducational workshops, and crisis intervention. In addition, CAPS staff train and supervise student volunteers who serve as peer counselors and peer educators.

The Center is housed on Emory's main campus. Digital recording equipment is available to enhance supervision of work with clients. Each intern has a private office equipped with a computer and furnishings. Interns have access to the University's library and computer resources.
