Counseling Services

Appointments

Our office hours are 8:00am to 4:30pm, Monday through Friday.  Our Central Office is at Galbraith Hall 190. You may call (858) 534-3755 or stop by our central office to make an appointment. Appointments are generally available within two weeks of your request. However, at times of peak demand the wait can be longer. You may request a specific staff person on the basis of gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity or location, but it will possibly mean a longer wait until an appointment becomes available.

Emergencies

Although CAPS generally operates on an appointment basis, there are occasions when a problem or crisis feels too overwhelming to wait for a scheduled appointment.  If this is the case, please make this known when you call and you can be seen quickly or within a few hours depending on the nature of the crisis during our hours of operation (8:00am-4:30pm , Monday-Friday).  Call (858) 534-3755 to speak with the on-call psychologist who will assist you with the concern or crisis.

After hours, CAPS psychologists can be reached for urgent psychological consultations through the UCSD campus police at (858) 534-HELP(4357).

For life threatening emergencies or if anyone is in immediate danger, please call 911 or the UCSD Campus Police at (858) 534-HELP(4357).
