A free, confidential, one-on-one, drop-in opportunity to informally consult with a Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) mental health provider. Let’s Talk is not therapy, but you can talk about anything on your mind, share something that recently took place, or ask questions/seek guidance (e.g., how to help a friend, how to seek services, wanting to learn more about a coping skill). We help one student at a time, so there may be a brief waiting period to be seen.
Wednesdays and Thursdays, 2-2:50 PM (excluding academic
holidays/breaks)

Let’s Talk Identity is designed for students whose identities have been historically
and systematically marginalized who want to meet with therapists committed to
inclusion, cultural humility, and doing their own internal work to challenge cultural
and/or privileged biases. When you drop into Let's Talk Identity you'll meet with
one of the members of CAPS Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging Team (DEI & Belonging Team).
We understand that many communities have rightful mistrust in the medical and mental health fields due to past and present injustices and disparities of care. Along with that, there are communities where discussing emotional health may feel especially vulnerable or would be something family members might not support. We honor the difficulties and obstacles that can arise when trying to access care, so we have created this informal, casual space to connect.
