Professional staff often act as consultants in crisis situations, and in making appropriate referrals to other agencies. For example, students, parents, or faculty/staff may consult with a CAPS professional regarding concerns about a 乐播传媒 student. Such consultations are available by appointment and can be done in-person or via telehealth. CAPS staff regularly serve as consultants to Residence Life and other Student Affairs offices. To request consultation, email us.

CAPS strives to be responsive to students鈥� needs in a timely manner.  Typically, our services are offered on an appointment basis.  However, we are aware that emergencies requiring immediate attention can exist for students and our same-day services are designed to assist these students during our normal business hours, Monday through Friday 9:00 am to 5:00 pm.  Examples of emergency situations include:

• You are currently so distressed that you may be unable to keep yourself or others safe.
• You have a current plan to attempt suicide or to harm someone else.
• You have recently been physically or sexually assaulted.
• Someone close to you has died recently.
• You are having strange experiences such as hearing voices or seeing things that others do not.
• You have knowledge of another person being abused or assaulted.
• You have had a severe reaction to a psychiatric medication.
• You have witnessed a traumatic event within the last few days.
• You have been unable to attend classes because of severe depression or anxiety.

We offer an array of therapy groups each semester and encourage students to consider them. Groups are an often overlooked and critical service at college counseling centers due to the reality that therapy groups offer high levels of peer support, interpersonal learning, and connection with others in a supportive and confidential setting. Day to day life involves interpersonal relationships, which is why groups are powerful means of change.

Counseling & Psychological Services offers short-term individual counseling for any 乐播传媒 student who wants to explore personal concerns one-to-one with a licensed therapist. Concerns vary from coping with the challenges of college life to more severe emotional and interpersonal problems. A variety of therapeutic approaches may be used to help students identify and understand the source(s) of their difficulties. Such insights may then be translated into plans for action and change. For frequently asked questions about individual counseling, click here.

If already on medication, we highly recommend that students maintain relationships with their current providers, being seen on school breaks as possible. As we are a short-term service, including for psychiatry, we will at some point be referring you to community resources.

Maine-licensed providers can be found through your insurance or We encourage you to speak with your current providers about your treatment needs as soon as possible to provide ample time to transition care.

If a need for medication emerges while at 乐播传媒, students first meet with a member of the counseling staff for an initial assessment and referral. This referral could include community providers, telehealth providers, 乐播传媒 Health Services, or a CAPS consulting psychiatrist.

Students who are being seen by a CAPS consulting psychiatrist for medication services will generally meet periodically with a CAPS counselor as well for best practice. Appointments for medication will be prioritized for 乐播传媒 students currently under the care of CAPS due to capacity limits. Once stabilized, students may be referred out for continuity of care with other providers and to create equity for other students seeking these services at 乐播传媒.

Students being seen by external therapists are encouraged to request psychiatric referrals from their therapists directly and/or to utilize their existing network through their health insurance.

We do NOT see students only for stimulant prescriptions and do not complete ADHD assessments or assess learning disabilities.  We can try to help you find providers in the area that do, or you can contact the Office of Accessible Education for referrals as well.

CAPS staff can work with students to find and help facilitate referral to specialized or intensive treatment off campus or refer students to mental health providers off campus as requested and/or necessary. Click here for more resources.

In our efforts to provide quicker access to services for students who need support with a specific issue and not necessarily ongoing therapy, we offer a same-day appointments every weekday with one of our clinicians. These appointments can help problem solve a specific concern (e.g., advice on roommate or relationship conflict, how to best manage stress, coping skills regarding anxiety, help making a decision) and are designed to be goal-oriented so that you can leave with a set of next steps. If a student wants/needs a follow-up in the future, they can call and request another one-time, same-day consultation or can discuss the potential for a pre-scheduled appointment with the clinician. Appointments are only scheduled for the same day and are first-come, first-served. These are not drop-in appointments.

CAPS offers wellbeing and prevention programming through workshops and outreach presentations to the 乐播传媒 Community. Please call or email us to talk with us about an outreach or workshop request.
