Residence Life Embedded Therapy Services
CAPS therapists in the residence halls!
Services available to all residents
We strive to provide resources and support for Aggies living on campus to ensure they have what they need to be successful students.
Let's Talk
Let's Talk provides students with a confidential, anonymous, informal way to chat with a Res Life embedded therapist. You can share concerns or questions you might have about your mental health or counseling, learn about campus and community resources, understand how to help a friend, or work on solving a problem together. Talking with the therapist is first come, first served.
