About CaPS
Counseling and Psychological Services (CaPS) addresses the mental health needs of the CMU community through a variety of services. We provide a safe, confidential environment to talk about personal or academic concerns. We assist students who need to connect with mental health resources in the community and support staff, faculty, and family members who have concerns about the well-being of a student. We strive to promote students’ capacity for psychological growth and maturation through greater self-awareness and psychological insight. Services at CaPS are developmental in nature, aimed at supporting students in the moment and in their personal growth and maturation over time.
CaPS is attentive to issues of diversity and equality. We respect and value each person as a unique individual.
Our Staff
At CaPS, we are dedicated to the psychological growth and emotional well-being of all Carnegie Mellon students. Our team is made up of highly qualified mental health professionals, advanced-level doctoral trainees and support staff.
