We accommodate requests for initial appointments as soon as possible, usually within 5-7 days, depending on staff and student schedules. Please note that while we will do our best to honor a student's wish to meet with a specific staff member, this is not always possible
Referrals
Generally, an initial appointment with a counselor is necessary to determine appropriate referrals to off-campus services. As requested, or when otherwise appropriate, Counseling Service staff will make referrals to other mental health professionals, usually for specialized psychological testing, individual psychotherapy, group psychotherapy, or private psychiatric medication management.
Please call the Counseling Service at 207-725-3145 to discuss referral to an off-campus clinician or email counseling@bowdoin.edu. Information about referrals is considered confidential.
