Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) at Cal Poly Pomona is a confidential, comprehensive, short-term mental health facility with licensed mental health clinicians/therapists who provide basic clinical services, as defined by California State University's Executive Order No. 1053. Basic clinical services entail short-term individual, group and couple psychotherapy services; crisis intervention and critical incident debriefing services; outreach services, such as psychoeducational tabling, workshops and presentations; consultation on student mental health issues to the campus community; and referral services for proper mental health treatment. Services are available to currently enrolled Cal Poly Pomona students only, and who have paid the mandatory student health fee. We offer both in-person and telehealth services for our campus community.
