Scope of Services

As the primary campus provider of psychological and consultation services, the Counseling Center offers free and confidential mental health services to registered UMD students.

In addition to our clinical services for students, the Counseling Center provides outreach programming to the larger campus community. We also offer consultation regarding student mental health to UMD faculty and staff as well as family members of students.

A Short-Term Model

The Counseling Center utilizes a short-term model to provide mental health services to students. As such, after a comprehensive brief assessment in which our counselors assess the nature and degree of concerns, students who would benefit from short-term services will be recommended one of several short-term clinical services that we offer. 

Students who would benefit from more frequent, specialized, or open-ended services are best served by mental health providers in the local community. Our dedicated care management team provides referral services to students best served by community providers.
