Counseling

Consultation, Counseling, and Psychotherapy

Current Students

NYU-Poly’s Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) center offers a variety of services to help students achieve their maximum potential both academically and professionally, as well as socially and emotionally. 

If you are an NYU-Poly student, you can meet with a professional staff member, a licensed psychologist or social worker (or with a supervised trainee), for consultation and referral, short-term individual counseling and psychotherapy, as well as group counseling and psychotherapy.  Consultation, counseling, and psychotherapy are confidential* and paid for as part of your registration fees, so there is no additional cost to you.

Family, Faculty, and Staff

We also offer consultation to friends, family, faculty and staff members who are concerned about an NYU-Poly student. (Note: We cannot disclose information about a particular student, without his/her written consent, nor can we disclose whether or not a student has or is receiving services at CAPS).   

NYU-Poly Community

We are available too as an educational resource and to present workshops on a variety of topics to NYU-Poly organizations, clubs and departments. (See our list of workshops located in our services overview.)
