UGA-Counseling and Psychiatric Services(CAPS)

“Got me through my degree. I couldn't have made it nearly as far without them. Thank you so much for everything you do for us!”

“I was on a long wait list and when I got my turn, they assigned me a social worker or counselor. She was the worst person that I could come across for therapy. When she couldn't handle me, or didn't know any better she said she can't continue with me and referred me out of UGA when I clearly told her I can't afford anything out! Total waste of my time and money!”

“I visited CAPS shortly after I started as an undergrad. I am very grateful that I went. The counselor I met with was compassionate and understanding, listened to me carefully, discussed a variety of services offered through CAPS, and helped me work out a way forward. I have a friend who had a similarly positive experience; he ended up working with them to find a therapist nearby. If you need support, I would definitely recommend stopping in or giving CAPS a call. They offer lots of different options depending on your situation, but even if they don't have exactly what you need, they can help you find it.”

“I’ve seen three different doctors in the last 6 months (one for therapy who was transitioning out of UGA to a practice in atlanta, one who I’m currently now seeing, and a psychiatrist for some meds)… all three have been great, friendly, and seemingly very concerned for my well-being. Advice given has been very good and the sessions are not “passive,” meaning, they give a lot of feedback rather than just listening or asking vague questions. I’ve already noticed improvement in the areas of my life we’ve been targeting. I only gave 4 stars because the first therapist (who left UGA already) was late 30-50 minutes to all three of our sessions without any notice or attempts to contact me. The sessions still went very well, but she no-showed for our 4th meeting and I was done.”
