Mental Health

On Campus

Finding long-term  Students are encouraged to visit CAPS to help find a local long-term mental health care provider, since CAPS maintains relationships with Evanston and Chicago-based providers while also able to consider your financial/insurance situation in identifying a provider. If you are interested in finding one on your own there are some national databases and local groups you might want to consider! We always suggestion asking your network, as personal referrals are often more insightful than national databases.

Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS)

Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) uses a short-term care model for individual counseling and psychiatry. CAPS providers work with each student to create a personalized care plan specific to their needs and can make recommendations or referrals for ongoing care in the community as needed. CAPS is also able to provide letters of support for gender affirming care or legal processes.

Depending on student interest, CAPS will sometimes host Queer Experiences Group and/or a Trans and Gender Expansive Experiences Group depending on student interest and staff capacity. Learn more about current CAPS groups here.
