Counseling & Psychological Services

https://www.purdue.edu/caps/

There are a variety of things you can use from WellTrack to making an appointment with a CAPS Counselor.  You need to call or go in and answer some questions and they be part of a group or make individual appointments.  Phone: 765-494-6995  or call 911 if an emergency

Initial consultation

During the brief phone screening appointment, your clinician may decide that more assessment is needed before a clinical recommendation can be made. A longer, in-person assessment appointment, called the “initial consultation” will be scheduled. At this assessment appointment, your clinician will answer your questions, review your situation in more depth, and determine an appropriate clinical recommendation.

**Please make sure to arrive about thirty minutes early for your initial consultation, as we will have some paperwork that we will need you to fill out.**

Sometimes, people find this appointment has met their needs and no further services are necessary. Other times, your clinician may recommend a workshop or group, brief individual therapy at CAPS (see below), or therapy with a provider in the community. Referrals to campus resources, medical or mental health providers, or specialized care can be offered, as well.  More info on the Website:  https://www.purdue.edu/caps/
