得到支持
我们明白了. Life is often not we what had expected, 和 we can find ourselves confused, 失去了, 焦虑, 和 seemingly alone. College 和 young adulthood can be a season of the proverbial "best of times 和 worst of times." For those "worse of times" moments, Counseling 和 Psychological 服务 (CAPS) provides a 安全的,免费的 和 confidential space to connect with a trained professional on whatever obstacles you may face.
Each of our clinicians are licensed psychotherapists (or accruing supervised hours for licensure) 和 dedicated to walking with students facing an array of concerns, 包括焦虑, 抑郁症, 饮食问题, relationship problems, 乡愁, addictive behaviors, 等. 等. Whether you are overwhelmed about the future, so 焦虑 you cannot focus, recently experienced something traumatic, hopeless 和 unmotivated, or wherever you find yourself, scheduling an appointment is a good place to start.
Life is painful, but support sure helps.

毕业的高级
CAPS has been an amazing resource for me during my time at Westmont! My counseling sessions have helped me to flourish at Westmont 和 have given me confidence to continue growing 和 building strong relationships in all areas of my life. I would highly recommend counseling at Westmont to any students who are considering it. You will not regret it.
Second Year Student
At a time when it felt like everything was falling apart, CAPS helped ground me 和 develop a tangible way forward, rooted in Christian faith.
Third Year Student
Having had previous negative experiences in counseling, I was hesitant to believe that CAPS would be a useful tool to me here at Westmont. I have been going to counseling for the last two years 和 have been amazed by the love 和 care I receive, as well as the very useful 和 applicable methods for processing 和 healthy coping.
First Year Student
I struggle with being 焦虑 about failure, 和 to cope with that, I turn to controlled eating habits. CAPS taught me new ways to cope with my anxiety, 和 showed me how to have open conversation about my struggles with people who I trust. After going through counseling here for only a few weeks, I have found myself to be more relaxed 和 able to accept 和 love myself even through struggling times.
