We are committed to meeting as many of our students\u2019 mental health and wellbeing needs as we can by providing a variety of confidential services. These include individual brief psychotherapy, process and skill-building groups, after-hours and emergency care, medical leaves of absence, consultations, and psychiatric evaluation and care. All CAPS services are free of charge for Georgetown Law students regardless of their health insurance.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n To best meet the demand for services, CAPS operates according to a brief treatment model in which the student and the clinician collaboratively address the student\u2019s primary concerns in a time-efficient manner.<\/p>\n Given the high demand for services experienced here and at university counseling centers across the nation, we use our best clinical judgment to determine which students are best matched with services within our office and which students would be better served by other resources on campus or in the community. Community referrals are appropriate when long-term care is needed or when the nature of the needed services goes beyond the scope of what CAPS can offer. We are dedicated to providing assistance as needed to help students secure referral options outside of CAPS when that is indicated. For additional information, check out our referral page<\/a>.<\/p>\n At the Law Center, full- and part-time J.D. and graduate program students are eligible for all services. Faculty and staff are eligible for consultations and referral services. Individuals who are unaffiliated with the university can contact CAPS for general information about treatment, psychological issues, and community resources.<\/p>\n With few exceptions, the law requires that to do teletherapy, a provider must be licensed in the state where they practice as well as the state where the client is located. This also applies to international teletherapy. As a result, CAPS clinicians may not be able to provide teletherapy services to students residing outside the DC area. In those cases, we will work with any student to connect them to resources near them.<\/p>\n To request an appointment, students can complete the First Appointment Request Form<\/a> with a Law Center CAPS clinician.<\/p>\n During the Fall 2026 semester, CAPS will be hosting several events to support student mental health outside of the therapy room.<\/p>\n Starting in September, CAPS will be out tabling for our monthly “Pause and Paint” event. Stop by to pick up a free canvas and paint set and take an intentional break in the midst of a busy semester. Be on the lookout for flyers around campus for specific days, times, and locations.<\/p>\n CAPS will also be hosting a variety of virtual workshops about navigating anxiety and depression, incorporating mindfulness into your life, and managing the distress that comes with final exam season. Visit our Outreach Page<\/a> to see an updated list of our upcoming workshops and registration instructions. We have a few new workshops in development that will be added once they’re ready.<\/p>\n If you are interested in collaborating with CAPS on an outreach program at the Law Center, please contact the Law Center Outreach Coordinator, Dr. Jerimi Vindua, at the following email: jv734@georgetown.edu.<\/p>\n HealthiestYou provides access to telehealth therapy and psychiatry services.
