What We Do

Counseling and Psychiatry Services(CAPS) provides outpatient mental health services to enrolled students at USC Columbia. All Counseling and Psychiatry staff are licensed, board certified and appropriately supervised mental health professionals. We deliver services consistent with level of training, experience and competence. When appropriate, our staff will provide a referral for outside services.

We provide consultations for all members of the USC community (including faculty, staff, students, family members and friends) who need help talking to or assisting a struggling student.

We also provide professional training for graduate and post-graduate students going into counseling, social work, pharmacy, psychiatry and health services psychology.
