Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS)

Therapy is a partnership between an individual and a professional who is licensed and/or trained to help people understand their feelings and assist them with changing their behavior.

People often consider therapy under the following circumstances:

They feel an overwhelming and prolonged sense of sadness and helplessness in their futures.

• Their emotional difficulties make it hard for them to function day to day. For example, they are unable to concentrate on assignments and their class performance suffers as a result.
• Their actions are harmful to themselves or others.
• They are troubled by emotional difficulties facing family members or close friends.
• They just need someone with whom to talk.

I’d also like to highlight our group therapy options: https://www.purdue.edu/caps/services/group_therapy/grouplistings.html

Specifically, we still have openings in our Trauma group, our Trans and Gender non-binary group, and our USO group specifically for BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and Persons of Color) students.
