CAPS offers a welcoming and safe environment for all students and is dedicated to providing the highest level of care to students across all genders and sexual orientations, including Stanford’s LGBTQ community.
CAPS therapists are available to help students experiencing a wide variety of personal and relationship concerns. Visit the CAPS homepage or call 650-723-3785 to make an appointment. During your CAPS triage appointment, inform the clinician that you would prefer seeing a CAPS therapist who has specialized training in working with gender and sexuality. You also can identify a counselor with extensive training in LGBTQ mental health issues by a rainbow flag posted next to his or her name on the CAPS Staff Page.
Individual preliminary counseling services at CAPS are confidential and free of charge. Couples counseling is available for registered students and their partners of any gender. There is no fee for brief couples counseling at CAPS.
The Weiland Health Initiative sponsors drop-in counseling hours specifically for LGBTQ-identified students. The clinicians working during these LGBTQ drop-in hours have extensive experience and comfort with LGBTQ mental health issues.
