Mental-health resources at Westgate:

* CAPS (Counseling and Psychological Services) caps at 8 sessions/year and there's a 4-week wait for a first appointment. Don't rely on it for anything sustained.
* The grad student union has a list of off-campus therapists who accept the student insurance. That list is much more useful than CAPS for ongoing care.
* The Department of Marine Biology specifically has a confidential ombudsperson (Prof. Lin) who is *much* better than the central university ombudsperson at handling advisor conflicts. She is not a mandatory reporter for academic disputes.

Use these. The work is hard and isolating; the resources help if you take them.
