Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS)

Gifts to CAPS help support an increased need for mental health services. CAPS is committed to providing high quality services to meet the needs of our clients.

Northwestern CAPS is fully committed to providing services that affirm the dignity, worth, and value of all individuals. We believe in creating an atmosphere of openness, trust, respect, and safety where diverse attitudes, beliefs, values, and behaviors can be explored and discussed. We seek to understand and honor individual differences, including but not limited to experiences related to: race, ethnicity, national origin, religious and spiritual beliefs, gender, sexuality, physical and mental abilities, size and appearance, & socio-economic status. The COVID-19 pandemic has been stressful and unsettling for each one of us. Emotional reactions during this time of crisis can appear very different from person to person. Whether you feel scared, anxious, grateful, hopeful, angry, it is all valid.  Be where you are. Rather than avoid or ignore unpleasant emotions, we encourage you to pause and tune in to what you’re feeling.
