Important Notice regarding Psychiatric Appointments in Counseling Services
I would like to offer an apology to those students who have tried to see a psychiatrist through Counseling Services (CS) only to discover that we are severely short staffed. While we are working hard to rectify the situation, psychiatric appointments in CS are severely limited. If you need/want to see a psychiatrist, I encourage you to meet with a member of CS staff for a Case Management (CM) appointment so they can assist you in connecting with an off-campus psychiatrist. Case Management appointments can be scheduled by calling the Health and Wellness Center (610-526-7360) or self-scheduled through the patient portal. There is no charge for this service. Your counselor will continue to meet with you for CM services until a connection is made with an off-campus psychiatrist.
For students who have United Health Insurance through BMC, you may want to consider accessing a psychiatrist through the UH telebehavioral health program entitled Healthiest You. This service is free. You can read more about Healthiest You on the UH website https://www.firststudent.com/
Image reads: Counseling Services staff value and respect the intrinsic worth of every individual and endeavor to create a space in which a broad variety of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors can be explored without judgement or censorship. As Mental Health practitioners, we understand that growth, whether academic, personal, or professional is not without loss, and that healing can be a difficult process eased by compassion for self and others. Through individual and group therapy, workshops and consultations, medication and crisis management, our goal is to support students as they navigate the challenges inherent in living in community both at Bryn Mawr College and the world beyond.
