Psychiatry Services

Psychiatric care is provided in a collaborative manner with CAPS clinicians. Students participating in individual or group therapy may be referred to our in-house psychiatrists if the clinician deems medication is clinically indicated.

A psychiatric evaluation includes a full assessment of current symptoms as well as past medical and psychological problems, personal history, and any relevant treatment history. Students who have been prescribed and are taking medication remain under our psychiatrists’ ongoing care as long as the provider deems it is clinically necessary.

The best course of treatment is often a combination of therapy and medication management — medication management is not a substitute for talk therapy.

Please Note: Per CAPS policy, a student must meet with a therapist in order to be referred for psychiatric care.
