How to make an appointment

Making an appointment with Counseling and Psychological Services is simple. We’ve outlined the process below. 

  1. Call 317-274-2548, email capsindy@iupui.edu, or walk into the CAPS office to initiate an appointment.
  2. You will be sent paperwork to complete via email.
  3. Once you’ve completed the paperwork, call or email CAPS, and your initial consultation appointment will be scheduled either virtually or in person.
  4. During the initial consultation, a member of our professional counseling staff will conduct a brief assessment, which typically lasts 30–45 minutes. Based on your specific needs and goals, you will be given a treatment recommendation, which could include: group therapy, referral to a community provider, other services on campus, psychiatry, individual counseling, or other specialized treatment.
  5. Once you have your treatment recommendation, CAPS staff will assist you in next steps.

  

Service fees at CAPS

Your initial consultation appointment (described above) is free. Several other services at CAPS are also free, and others have a minimal cost.
