Welcome

Welcome to Texas Woman’s University Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS)! We look forward to working collaboratively with you during your time at TWU.

TWU Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) is committed to providing high-quality, culturally responsive mental health services to enrolled students across all three campuses. Our services support the development of the whole person by fostering student resiliency, emotional well-being, interpersonal effectiveness and academic success. 

Although college can be an exciting time of growth, it can also present unexpected and stressful challenges. It is not uncommon to need support beyond what family and friends can offer at some point in a college career. Are you…

• Worried about balancing relationships, work, and school?
• Feeling more blue than normal?
• Trying to figure out “who you are?”
• Having trouble concentrating?
• Feeling anxious and nervous?
• Upset about a relationship?
• Trying to overcome your past?
• Hearing from family and friends that they are worried about you?
• Concerned about a friend or family member?
• Looking for a new mental health provider?

CAPS can help you with these issues, and many more. CAPS staff is dedicated to providing a welcoming, inclusive and confidential atmosphere to assist students across all 3 campuses.

While all campuses have telehealth appointment Monday-Friday, availability for in-person appointments varies by campus. Please call for an appointment.

• Availability for In-Person Appointments during listed business hours:
  • Denton: Appointments available Monday - Friday
  • Dallas: Appointments available Monday - Wednesday and Friday

Scope of Care

TWU CAPS provides short-term therapy and consultation to students who are experiencing emotional and psychological problems that are interfering with their academic performance and personal well-being. Our purpose is not to provide long-term or intensive treatment for chronic or severe mental illness or mental health problems. CAPS reserves the right to determine if we have adequate resources and expertise to address your particular treatment needs. If your needs cannot be met by CAPS, we will work with you to secure an appropriate referral.

Emotional Support Animal Notice 

• Our staff do not have specialized training and skills in therapeutic human-animal interactions and, therefore, cannot provide a competent and ethical assessment of the medical/psychological need for an emotional support animal.
• CAPS providers have a very high demand for services and must be available to meet the mental health needs of the whole student body. Our primary focus at CAPS is to provide brief treatment and acute/crisis services. Therefore, we do not have the resources to provide psychological assessments for the purposes of ESA prescriptions.
