Counseling & Psychological Services
In response to COVID - 19, CAPS has moved to a telepsychology model for the delivery of services. Individual counseling is still available through video or phone appointments during our regular business hours. Crisis services also remain available outside of our business hours by calling University police at 301-687-4223. However, if you are in immediate need of attention and you are not in the Frostburg area, it may be more beneficial to you to contact your local resources through 911.

Our center is staffed by a variety of licensed mental health providers and trainees under supervision.
