Services
Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) offers a wide range of services to full-time students at the University of Richmond. Other members of the university community are eligible for consultation and for assistance with referrals.
Our services include:
- Short-term psychotherapy
- Group counseling
- Crisis intervention
- Workshops
- Assessment
- Consultation
- Psychiatry - part-time
- Referrals
No problem is too big or too small.
About one third of undergraduates use CAPS services one or more times during their four years at the University. Common reasons students come to us include relationship difficulties, stress, anxiety, depression, family concerns, substance abuse, traumatic events, eating problems, grief, sleep disturbance and adjusting to college. However, any issue of concern to a student is OK to discuss with a CAPS counselor.
CAPS maintains a list of off-campus resources to refer students to when specialized services or longer-term counseling is needed.
Please note that CAPS does not provide court-ordered treatment services.
For UR faculty and staff, counseling services are available through the Employee Assistance Program (EAP).
Students (or parents of students) who have significant health concerns may be interested in purchasing tuition refund insurance. If so, one helpful resource is: www.collegerefund.com
