Mental Health Services
Welcome to the Mental Health Service!
Listening, Understanding, Healing
College is an exciting time of opportunities and self-discovery. However, there are times when undergraduate and graduate students alike struggle. We can help if you are…
- Lonely or alienated from friends or family
- Struggling with academic challenges
- Experiencing loss or grief
- Seeking to improve communication skills
- Experiencing low self esteem
- Seeking care for stress, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, or ADHD
- Troubled by your relationship with food or body image
- Struggling with relationship difficulties
- Sorting out role, gender and/or sexual orientation issues
- Dealing with a traumatic event such as sexual assault, crime, etc.
- Concerned about alcohol or drug use
These experiences can impair functioning or personal growth, affect self-esteem, and cause academic performance to suffer. The Mental Health Service (MHS), a part of the University Health Center, is here to help meet the psychiatric and mental health needs of the University of Maryland, College Park community. We provide confidential services for registered UMD students, including short-term psychotherapy, medication evaluations, crisis interventions, group psychotherapy, outreach and consultation to the University community, and referral to appropriate University and community resources. Please let us know how we can help.
Be sure to check out our free and anonymous online Mental Health & Alcohol Screening to see if meeting with a clinician might be helpful to you.
