What We Do
ABR Clinical Services at Counseling & Psychological Services (CAPS)
Clinical services related to alcohol, cannabis, nicotine, other substances, gaming, gambling, screen use, pornography, and other addictive behaviors are now offered through Counseling & Psychological Services (CAPS). Licensed therapists provide free, confidential counseling for UCSB students who are self-referred, referred by others, or concerned about someone else. ABR clinical services use evidence-based, harm-reduction approaches to support healthy choices, reduce high-risk behaviors, and connect students with additional resources on and off campus. Free nicotine-cessation support, including gum, lozenges, and patches, is also available.
