Eligibility For Services...

All full-time, degree-seeking students enrolled on the Fredericksburg campus can participate in short-term (up to 10 sessions each year) individual counseling and/or group therapy. There are no session limits for group therapy participation.
All UMW community members, including part-time students, faculty and staff, are eligible for consultation, referral, crisis intervention and outreach educational programs.

All CAPS services are free. We cannot accept payment for individual counseling sessions beyond the session limits. If a student needs to be referred for psychological or psychiatric services off-campus, payment arrangements must be negotiated between the student and the provider. CAPS staff conducts an annual survey of community mental health providers, which includes basic information on the insurance plans in which each clinician participates.

Please note that CAPS cannot offer services during times when classes are not in session nor can we provide services to students not currently registered for classes. We also do not accept referrals for court-mandated counseling.
