Counseling & Psychological Services

Helping Students Thrive

The Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) office believes that students are strong, capable and resilient. We offer our services to support them and those qualities in times when they may need additional support to manage an array of mental health challenges. We strive to offer these services in an atmosphere that is welcoming and comfortable for all students, regardless of race, gender, ethnic background, age, sexual orientation, citizenship, or physical status. We utilize students' own strengths and aid them in being able to function at their highest capacity. Our ultimate goal is for students to be able to identify and reach their own goals.

Our Stance on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

CAPS strives to be a safe and affirming place for all students at the University of New Haven. We do this by offering services and programs that are inclusive and through providing a space for all students to feel heard, appreciated, and accepted. We stand against all forms of inequity and injustice and acknowledge the impact that racism and other forms of oppression have had on our students of color and on other marginalized students in the UNH community. Our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion is an ongoing journey. To follow through on this commitment we continue to develop the multicultural capacity of our staff through training and education and maintaining an open environment to feedback and change.
