Some of our staff are located in different schools and colleges at U-M. To see a CAPS therapist in your school/college, please email them directly, and they will send you their online scheduling information.
What is an Embedded Counselor?
Embedded counselors are CAPS counselors placed in 18 different schools and colleges at U-M, known as the embedded model. An embedded therapist addresses the unique needs of their school's culture through confidential clinical service and tailored outreach, education, and prevention programs; engagement and consultation with faculty and staff; and the development of materials specifically tailored to each school and college.
What is the Goal of Embedded Counselors?
The goals of the model include increasing support for all U-M students’ mental health and wellness, including clinical, consultation, and prevention services, developmental issues, diagnosable illnesses, crisis intervention, and psychiatric emergencies, all while meeting the expressed needs of U-M deans, associate deans, faculty, and administrators in the schools and colleges for local, accessible intervention and prevention services for students.

Entering from the Museum of Art: turn left after you enter the building, following the red "Angell Hall" signs. Then, when you reach the end of the short hallway, turn right and walk until you pass the restrooms on your right, near the end of the long hallway.
