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.
