Counseling & Psychological Services | Division of Student Success | University of Nebraska Medical Center
Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) offers a wide range of professional mental health services, including individual psychotherapy, stress management training, crisis support, and outreach education. These services are provided free of charge to all UNMC students. CAPS therapists are licensed in mental health counseling, clinical social work, and/or alcohol and drug counseling. Psychiatric referrals are available if needed.
In addition, CAPS offers Outreach, Access, and Resources. This non-clinical branch of CAPS focuses on assessing the needs of students and providing programming and support services around those needs. OAR also serves the needs of student victims and survivors of sexual assault, dating/domestic violence, and stalking.
The goal of CAPS is to provide mental health, outreach, access, and resource services to support the well-being of all students. Our team works with each student to assess their individual needs and determine the best approach for their wellness as they pursue their academic and career goals. CAPS staff make confidentiality the highest priority. With the exception of life-threatening situations (clear danger to self or others), no private information is released without the written consent of the student. Files cannot be accessed through UNMC or hospital electronic medical records systems.
We welcome students from all academic programs to let us help support you while enrolled at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. For appointment scheduling or questions, call 402-559-7276.
