Counseling and Psychiatric Services (CAPS) at the University of Georgia Health Center is happy to announce our new referral database. This online system will allow UGA students, faculty, staff, and non-students to search for mental health providers in the Athens community. This searchable database contains names of therapists and psychiatrists near the UGA campus who have voluntarily submitted their information to the CAPS referral database. These resources are not affiliated with the University, Health Center, or CAPS – neither UGA, the Heath Center, nor CAPS guarantees the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of the information provided, and do not endorse any particular provider listed.
