Counseling Services
Davidson students that are affiliated with the College and living in North Carolina are eligible for counseling services this summer. Students can make counseling appointments through the Student Health Portal.
If you are not affiliated with the College and/or are living outside of North Carolina for the summer and would like to find mental health provider, schedule an appointment with our Clinical Case Manager, Katrina Umbaugh, LCSW by emailing kaumbaugh@davidson.edu. Please allow up to 60 minutes for the initial appointment.
If you are in need of immediate assistance please call, 704-894-2300, option 2, or call 911.
If you are unable to get your needs met by the above instructions, please email studentcounseling@davidson.edu. This email is NOT monitored 24/7, and someone will reply to your email as soon as we are able. DO NOT email urgent needs.
Personalized Care Plan
Davidson College’s mental health counselors utilize a Stepped Care Model. This model allows clinicians to meet students where they are and collaborate with the student to provide a tailored care plan to meet each student’s individual concerns, using evidence-based resources and treatments for those concerns while promoting autonomy and empowerment.
This model is not linear. A student does not start at the bottom and move through the steps one by one. After a triage/initial appointment the student will be provided a personalized care plan (PCP) with the most effective and least intensive intervention first. A student is stepped higher or lower based on outcomes and needs.
To access paperwork and online scheduling, visit the Student Health Portal (Davidson log-in required). Please do not schedule online if in crisis, visit the center immediately.
