September 18, 2026 | by Center for Health & Wellness

The Center for Health and Wellness is the name for several offices that all work together to support student health. From physical and mental health care, to education, injury prevention and recovery, the staff members who make up these offices are dedicated professionals who enjoy working with college students and seek to be accessible and helpful no matter what your concern is.

Health Services

Health Services is located in Centeno House and is full of awesome clinicians who can help with all sorts of physical health needs and concerns, as well as provide referrals and handoffs to other offices or resources as needed. Health Services provides confidential medical care pertaining to acute and/or chronic needs and are closely aligned with Porter Hospital so if you need care they can’t provide, they can help you navigate your next steps. Common things that students visit Health Services for are:

Immunizations

Counseling

Counseling is located in Centeno House. Counselors at Middlebury are confidential, licensed professionals who offer 1:1 meetings and groups at no cost to students enrolled in Middlebury programs. There is no “wrong” reason for wanting to speak to a therapist or to try it out and see if it helps. As college students, you’re asked to manage a lot, and it can be very supportive to have someone who is trained to listen, ask questions, and provide support. Scheduled counseling is also available via TimelyCare, as is TalkNow – a 24/7 hotline that can provide mental health support, crisis counseling, and referrals to other types of support.
