WELCOME

Counseling and Psychological Services is here to help you on your journey to living life to the fullest.

While some amount of stress, sadness, and anxiety is a normal part of life, we can all find ourselves in a place where we need a little bit of professional help to regain our balance, feel more at peace with ourselves, and feel more in control of our lives.

At CAPS we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to mental health. Different people need different things at different times. We offer a dynamic array of services intended to meet your needs where you are. From short-term individual and couples counseling to workshops, group therapy, and Single Session Therapy (SST), CAPS is always looking to find the solution that best meets your needs.

As a generalist counseling center that specializes in shorter term counseling options, we may sometimes recommend that you seek specialized or longer term therapy options in the community. If this is the case we will help you get connected to other resources or treatment options that can better meet your needs.
