I had initially rated CAPS 7 years ago. I just graduated last year and had been a client at CAPS for about 5 years (I was out of state for 2 years so I couldn’t get services then) which is almost my entire time at IUPUI. My clinician was a perfect match for me from the get-go and I was incredibly lucky to have been matched to him. He helped me through all the most difficult times of my life - divorce, emotional abuse, and suicidal ideations just to name a few. He gave me a whole “toolbox” of coping strategies that I still use to this day. The most amazing thing about CAPS is that in all that time that I’ve spent there, I’ve not met a single clinician who wasn’t fully invested in my care. They provide emergency sessions to everyone who needs them. I have made use of many of these sessions and have interacted with a number of clinicians there. I’m so grateful for the services provided here that have been a major reason for my well being today and for my ability to stay in school and graduate. I truly believe that IUPUI wouldn’t be the great institution it is if they didn’t have this service.
The clinicians I have worked with at CAPS were respectful of me and showed genuine interest in my recovery process when dealing with the challenges of life, work, and college at the same time. After having had an incident with a bad clinician at Indy Counseling Professionals, I was blessed to get the exact opposite experience at CAPS when I returned to IUPUI to finish my degree a few months after. The therapists I saw at CAPS were very respectful of my boundaries in session as well as conscientious of the importance of creating a safe environment for me as a patient. From those experiences I can say that CAPS is an asset to IUPUI, and I really hope that all other IUPUI students seeking services at CAPS [or considering to do so] will have the same satisfactory experience that I had there as a patient.
