Let's Talk with CAPS!

By Brian Petersen, January 17, 2024

Let's Talk with CAPS!

Let’s Talk is virtual & in-person!

Let’s Talk allows Ithaca College students to meet for an informal and confidential individual consultation with a CAPS counselor.  Let’s Talk counselors can listen to specific problems, help you explore solutions, and introduce you to what it’s like to speak to a member of the CAPS staff. Speaking with a Let’s Talk counselor can help provide insight, support, and information about other resources

Since fall 2020, Let’s Talk went virtual (phone or zoom only).  Before 2020, “Let’s Talk” provided these consultations in-person with a CAPS counselor at various locations around campus.

For spring 2024, Let’s Talk will be offered in-person and virtually. 

Let’s Talk is available for all Ithaca College students currently enrolled regardless of location.  Out of state and students studying abroad can use Let’s Talk (zoom option only).

Let’s Talk will start back up on January 17th, 2024 and will continue through final’s week of the spring semester.

  • Let's Talk hours will be held from 12-2 PM on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. (Typically, the first appointment won’t start until 12:15 pm and last session will end by 1:45 pm, to allow transportation time to and from each site).
  • Other times will be available by request. Use the "I'd like to specify another day and time" option and submit your availability on the form.  Please note: An alternate day and time might not always be possible.
  • Let's Talk will NOT be held on the following dates: Spring Break (March 11-15)

*PLEASE NOTE*:

  • Although Let’s Talk consultations are with mental health professionals, this service is not a substitute for formal counseling and does not constitute mental health treatment. Because it is not therapy, Let’s Talk is available to all IC students regardless of where they are currently residing. 
  • Let’s Talk is not for urgent concerns.  If you are in crisis or need immediate support, please call CAPS at (607) 274-3136 and ask about Same Day Crisis Services; After-hours On-Call Counselors available 5 PM to 8:30 AM, Monday through Friday, and 24/7 on weekends/holidays/whenever CAPS is closed, just call the CAPS phone number and follow the prompts.
  • To access a Let’s Talk consultation, just visit the CAPS Let’s Talk website or scan the QR code below. You will submit a brief form online using your Netpass. That’s it.
