Mission Statement
The mission of Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) is to enhance the mental health, interpersonal relationships, academic performance and career development of students attending UC Davis. CAPS services are also designed to assist all members of the campus community to develop a healthy campus learning environment. CAPS is committed to promoting inclusion, and the affirmation of diversity in its broadest sense. We strive to provide respectful treatment to people of every background who work, train and use CAPS services. Our staff contribute to the profession and embrace the richness brought by the intersections of gender, ethnicity, race, sexual/affectional orientation, age, physical and mental abilities, spirituality, socioeconomic status, physical attributes, as well as other personal and social characteristics that comprise individual identity.

SPOTLIGHT ON CAPS PROGRAMS
Below are some randomly selected CAPS programs. Click here to refresh the selections.
Individual Counseling
CAPS provides free, confidential, short-term therapy to registered UCD students. The initial appointment will help clarify your needs and direct you to appropriate services. If short-term individual counseling is recommended, an appointment will be made with a staff member as soon as possible.
Stress & Wellness Clinic
The Stress and Wellness Clinic is a Counseling & Psychological Services (CAPS) sponsored program designed to address student needs specific to stress and anxiety. The clinic offers counseling services and outreach aimed to provide students with strategies and information to help decrease symptoms of stress and increase overall sense of wellness.
The Stress & Wellness Clinic offers individual and group counseling services to registered UC Davis students dealing with stress and/or anxiety. Students meet with a Stress & Wellness Clinic counselor for a screening appointment to assess stress symptoms and the impact of stress on daily life. Students are then assigned to a treatment protocol that meets stress and anxiety reduction needs. Group and individual treatment modalities pull from empirically supported cognitive-behavioral, relaxation, and mindfulness-based treatments. Students begin with introductory groups on basic stress reduction and coping techniques. They are then given the opportunity to advance to groups that build upon their stress reduction skill set and more directly integrate principles of mindfulness and mind-body wellness.
In order to utilize our services, we ask that you meet with one of our Stress and Wellness counselors for a screening appointment. During this screening appointment, we will explore your concerns and determine a treatment protocol tailored to your stress and anxiety reduction needs. In order to schedule this appointment, please call CAPS 752-0871 or stop by CAPS reception in 219 North Hall.
