How Therapy can Help
- In a college counseling center, therapists support and empower students to develop their potential, improve mental health, and define and pursue their academic and personal goals.
- Even though it may feel like you are just dealing with basic stressors of college life, therapy can help tackle them more efficiently and prevent a slow buildup of stress that could become much more difficult to manage.
- Counseling and therapy can also help you understand and manage more serious mental health concerns.

Confidentiality
- The APA Code of Ethics and PA state law considers the personal information you discuss in therapy to be confidential, therefore CAPS strictly protects the confidentiality of information shared during sessions, as well as the attendance to any therapy service.
- This means that no record of therapy is made on an academic transcript, and that information regarding your therapy is not released without your written permission to anyone, unless otherwise indicated by law.
- Confidentiality will be discussed and explained on detail during the intake process or first therapeutic contact with the therapist.
Cultural Competence
- CAPS staff are dedicated to providing culturally sensitive services and continually engage in training to increase their cultural awareness and competence.
- All CAPS staff graduated from APA/ACA approved graduate programs that required a focus on providing culturally competent mental health services.
