Welcome to CAPS!
As the primary mental health resource for K-State students, CAPS provides a confidential, safe space to process anything that weighs on your mind. Whether you have a personal struggle that you want to work through, a relationship you’d like to improve, a societal issue that is causing you concern, or some other topic on your mind, our dedicated staff are here to listen and help you process anything that is having a psychological impact on you. Our services are open and available to all enrolled K-State students who have paid the student services fee included in their tuition bill.
CAPS provides consultations, workshops, group and individual therapy, as well as referral information for K-State campus partners and the Manhattan community.
Important Details:
- Our services are for eligible students.
- Our therapists are licensed in Kansas and only able to provide services to students who are in Kansas at the time of the services. Out of state students find information about finding a therapist.

Initial consultation meeting
Initial consultation meetings can be as quick as 20-30 minutes after you complete your paperwork. The purpose of these meetings is to discuss your needs and explore services that might be a good fit for you.
We schedule initial consultations within 48 hours of appointment time through the myLAFENE+ portal. If you cannot find an appointment that works for you through the portal, please call 785-532-6927 and we will find a time that works for you. You can also walk in for an initial consultation between the hours of 8:30 - 3:30, for first-come, first-served drop-in meetings. The earlier you come in the day, the more likely you will be seen the same day.
