FAQ
You will be required to verbally consent to CAPS confidentiality and treatment, and provide your physical location before a phone consultation. A private space is needed for all CAPS services to reduce the potential for other people to overhear and to protect your privacy and confidentiality.

Brief phone consultations offer support and resources to students. Counseling is generally a regularly scheduled 45-50 minute telehealth session. During consultations, a counselor can assist you in determining whether counseling would be useful for you and scheduling an appointment if appropriate.
It’s best to contact your counselor directly to see if they can see you or schedule a phone consult with you sooner.
Try addressing your concerns directly with your counselor. If you prefer not to speak with the person involved, contact CAPS at 817-272-3671 and ask to speak to the department director.
