Counseling Services

Counseling services are available to all enrolled Davidson College students. Counselors go to great lengths to promote students' well-being by providing an individualized care plan, in a safe, inclusive and confidential environment.

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.

Getting Started Make a Triage Appointment

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.

Summer Services

The Counseling Center and Nutrition Services remain open over the summer. Appointments are available to either meet with our counseling team or to connect with our case management team for those who want help finding mental health support outside of North Carolina. Returning clients can reach out to their counselor directly.

Students seeking nutritional support while located in North Carolina can connect with Elizabeth Allred at elallred@davidson.edu or at 704-894-3071.
