About Counseling

Common Concerns

Clients bring a range of concerns to counseling.  We find that whether clients are P.I.’s, administrative assistants, post-docs, graduate students or other staff, the issues brought for treatment are universal.  These include, but are not limited to:

• Marital or relationship concerns
• Stress
• Change or loss difficulties
• Mood-related concerns
• Job stress
• Anxiety
• Career or academic issues
• Health-related concerns
• Parenting concerns
• Eldercare issues

Confidentiality

Confidentiality is an issue that we at CAPS take very seriously. The Counseling center, the ethical principles of counseling professionals and state and federal law all support the importance of confidential interactions between clients and their counselors. In most cases, we will not release information about your participation in therapy to anyone unless you give us explicit permission to do so, or if emergency circumstances require it. In rare and serious situations, we may be legally and ethically mandated to breach confidentiality. If there is a risk of serious harm to you or someone else, if you inform us about the abuse of a child or an elderly person, or if a court orders information to be provided, then we may need to breach confidentiality.
