» Oregon State University Counseling Services
Oregon State University has a program called Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) which provides a variety of services to the OSU community to address the challenges and difficulties students face. There are multiple options for counseling and support. Individual counseling provides you with the opportunity to work one-on-one with a counselor. The counselor can assist you in helping to understand yourself and the world around you. Goals for counseling may include relief of symptoms, improved social and academic functioning, and increased insight. Group therapy provides a safe and confidential place to share and explore your concerns as well as receive support around various issues. Group is a natural extension of the way we live and interact with others and empowers group members to give and receive feedback and support as they experiment with new ways of being.
