Message to Students

Dear Students,

Counseling & Psychological Services (CAPS) joins the San Francisco State University community in expressing our grief, sorrow, and outrage at the deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, and Breonna Taylor. These tragedies reflect a longstanding and entrenched history of structural and systemic injustice that we condemn and are dedicated to addressing. While these tragedies can be traumatizing for all of us, we recognize that they are especially painful and injurious to members of our Black community. In the aftermath of experiencing or witnessing trauma, it is normal to experience a range of feelings and emotions, such as shock, fear, sadness, anger, helplessness, and/or guilt. CAPS is committed to affirming and providing support for all of our students who have been directly or vicariously impacted by experiences of racism, discrimination, prejudice, stereotyping and/or violence.

For more informaton and resources, please visit our Racial Trauma, Resiliency and Ally Resources page.

If you would like to schedule a phone or video appointment with us, please call CAPS at 415-338-2208 during business hours (9am-4pm; closed noon-1pm).

If you prefer a phone appointment, please be sure you have a private space and good cell service for your appointment.

If you would like to have counseling via secure video conference (Zoom), you will need a good Internet connection, a private space, and a device with a camera. Video therapy will be offered via secure website (you won’t have to download any software). Please review our Telebehavorial Health Services page for more information about remote counseling.

Sincerely,
Stephen Chen, Psy.D.
Director of Counseling & Psychological Services

Dear Students,

Counseling & Psychological Services (CAPS) is committed to providing support to students during this stressful time marked with concerns around the Coronavirus as well as the transition to virtual instruction. CAPS remains open and operational with adjusted services. Due to Coronavirus precautions, we are offering the option of remote counseling and groups. In accordance with California laws, currently we are only able to provide remote counseling to students residing in the state of California. At this time, there are no in-person visits at CAPS.

We ask that if you have any Coronavirus symptoms (cough, fever, difficulty breathing) to call the SF State Student Health Services (SHS) at 415-338-1251. (Note: SHS has shifted all medical appointments to phone visits. Currently there are no in-person visits at SHS.)

For the SAFE Place, services are also modified to continue providing services to the SF State community in accordance with the safety measures put into place by the University. The SAFE Place will continue to provide crisis counseling and advocacy to students who are in crisis (via Zoom). Please call 415-338-2208 with questions or to schedule with The SAFE Place.
