Let's Talk

Let’s Talk is a free service where CU Boulder students can check in for an informal, brief and confidential consultation with a counselor or psychiatrist. CAPS is offering Let’s Talk in person and virtually.

Students are seen on a first-come, first-served basis. No appointment necessary. 

Let’s Talk is available to students who live in-state or out-of-state.

This service is not a substitute for formal treatment and does not constitute mental health treatment.

Some questions to help students prepare for their Let’s Talk session

  • What is the biggest problem or issue that would be helpful for you to discuss with your Let’s Talk Facilitator today?
  • What types of resources would be helpful to discuss in today’s Let’s Talk session?

Let’s Talk is especially helpful for students who...

  • Aren’t sure about counseling or wonder what it’s like to talk with a counselor.
  • Aren’t interested in ongoing counseling but would like the perspective of a counselor.
  • Have a specific problem and would like someone with whom to briefly talk it through.
  • Have a concern about a friend or family member and would like ideas about what to do.
  • Are looking for resources or supports and are seeking help navigating where to turn.

Let’s Talk is not appropriate or helpful for students who...

  • Are feeling in crisis and needing immediate mental health support.
  • Are wanting ongoing mental health support and hoping to use Let’s Talk in this way.
  • Are seeking court mandated treatment or legal advice.
  • Are looking to process emotions or events. Instead, consider Schedule a Screening Appointment.
