    Informal Consultation


    Get Started with Let's Talk

    Let’s Talk is a free service where ²ÊÃñ±¦µä students can check in for an informal and confidential consultation with a counselor. No appointment is necessary, and it is offered both in-person and virtually. Students are seen on a first-come, first-served basis. 

    Let’s Talk counselors can help provide insight, solutions and information about additional resources. Students commonly visit with concerns about stress, sadness, worry, relationships, academic performance, family problems and financial struggles. 

    Please note: This service is not a substitute for formal counseling and does not constitute mental health treatment.

    Let’s Talk is especially helpful for students who ...

    • Aren’t sure about counseling or wonder what it’s like to talk with a counselor
    • Aren’t interested in ongoing 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
    CAPS offers virtual workshops and resources to address a variety of needs, including anxiety, healthy living, identity exploration and COVID.

    CAPS Workshops

    Group sessions can be very valuable during times like these and for specific needs.

    Group Support Sessions

    Individual Counseling

    One-on-one counseling is available through Counseling and Psychiatric Services. CAPS counselors are available to discuss options for mental health services. CAPS is working to accommodate all students who need help and sometimes experiences surges in demand. Like many health care providers, they assess need and provide options for support that meet that need. While waiting for an appointment, please access other means of support listed on this page. All CAPS staff have transitioned to remote meetings with current students. To access remote services 24/7, please call 303-492-2277. Please visit the CAPS webpage for the most up-to-date information.
