Let's Talk

Let's Talk is not therapy. Let's Talk is a free, confidential, 15-20 minute consultation with a CAPS Clinician. Clinicians will listen to your concerns and offer support, information, and resources. Any student can attend Let's Talk. It is typically a best fit for students who:

• Are not sure about counseling or wonder what it's like to talk to a counselor
• Are not interested in counseling but would like the perspective of a counselor
• Have a specific problem and would like someone with whom to talk it through 
• Have a concern about a friend or family member and would like ideas about what to do

In-person appointments are drop-in appointments and are filled first come, first served. Virtual appointments require an appointment. Students can schedule a virtual appointment through Bookings. Virtual appointments can be by phone or videoconference via Microsoft Teams. Please see the schedule below for more information.
