Counseling: Director’s message

Thank you for visiting the Counseling website. Counseling promotes and supports students’ emotional and interpersonal well-being within a safe, confidential, and inclusive environment.  We offer a range of mental health and psychological approaches for students of our diverse Middlebury College community.

We offer short-term individual counseling, urgent needs counseling, group counseling, outreach and education, psychiatry and long term care referrals, and consultation services.

Students who participate in counseling may discuss confidentially any worries, distressing feelings, or difficult situations they are currently experiencing. Our goal is to support students as they navigate through life's challenges within the context of a highly rigorous and demanding academic environment.

Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any feedback, questions or concerns about counseling. I sincerely hope you have a meaningful and fulfilling experience at the Middlebury College.
