Counseling Services
Counseling offers appointments for individual, couple's, and group therapy to enrolled students in the WSU community. No matter where you're at in life or what hardships you face, CAPS is here to help. To set an appointment, walk into the Student Wellness Center or call us at 316-978-4SWC (4792) and ask to meet with a counselor. We offer in-person and telehealth appointments.
Typical problems seen in the center are:
- Difficulties with family/friends
- Academic stress
- Issues with self-esteem/self-doubt
- Anxiety/Stress
- Eating disorders/body image struggles
- General depression/unhappiness
- Negative habits
- Anger management

CAPS office visits are just $10.00 a session. However, no student will be turned away for inability to pay. Please talk with your therapist to see if you qualify for a reduced rate. There is no cost for group therapy, crisis therapy, and support group sessions.
The staff at Counseling and Prevention Services offers an assortment of group therapy sessions to the WSU community. Contact Counseling and Prevention Services for group offerings at the beginning of each semester.
Counseling and Prevention Services partners with Student Health Services and a psychiatric medical doctor to provide psychotropic medication services to enrolled students. The current standard of care for mental health conditions includes medication management and therapy. Therefore, a medication consultation is coordinated through the individual counselor and reserved only for clients engaged in counseling.
Our counseling staff administers and interprets a wide range of assessment instruments.
Interest, ability, values, and personality may be formally assessed in support of psychological and/or career counseling.
If you are afraid you will not be able to avoid hurting yourself or someone else, get help immediately. We have provided a list of resources and guidelines for dealing with psychological or emotional crises - information that can keep you and others safe in emergency situations.
