All about University Counseling and Psychological Services

One of DePaul's top priorities is to keep all of our students safe and healthy, both physically and mentally.

University Counseling and Psychological Services (UCAPS) offers numerous resources, such as brief screenings and consultations for students, psychoeducational workshops regarding a variety of topics, referrals and assistance for students with common concerns, all at no cost to the student.

Currently-registered, degree-seeking students enrolled for classes for the quarter can talk to a therapist or schedule a brief screening and consultation appointment in the following ways:​

  • To speak directly to a therapist 24 hours a day, seven days a week, students should call 773-325-CARE (2273) and press "1" when prompted.
  • To schedule an on-campus brief screening and consultation, students should call 773-325-CARE (2273) during regular business hours and press "2" when prompted.
  • Students can also schedule a brief screening and consultation online. Visit go.depaul.edu/ucaps and click the 'Schedule a Consultation' button at the top of the page. Online scheduling is available Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. All BSCs scheduled online are for phone appointments.
