Mental Health Services offered by the Student Health Center of University of Tennessee, Knoxville.

The Mental Health Clinic (MHC) assists in meeting the mental health needs of their college community by providing psychiatrist assessment and treatment and psychological treatment.

Students who are currently under the care of another mental health provider are encouraged to continue with that relationship.

The Mental Health Clinic of the Student Health Center does not provide assessment or diagnosis of ADHD.

Students who can provide documentation of a previous adequate evaluation and diagnosis may be treated short-term until private psychiatric follow-up can be arranged off campus.

It is important to note that students do not need to be seen in the Mental Health Clinic first in order to receive a referral to off-campus mental health resources.

To facilitate coordination of care the Mental Health Clinic and the Student Counseling Center are co-located on the second floor of the Student Health Center building and share the same reception area.

Upon arrival, Mental Health Clinic patients are not required to check-in with the Health Center’s receptionists on the first floor.

Rather, patients should check-in with the Mental Health Clinic receptionist in the waiting area of the Student Counseling Center on the second floor.

Psychiatric Assessment and Medication Treatment

Generally, a referral from a counselor, psychologist, medical physician, faculty or administrator is required to schedule a psychiatric assessment.

When in doubt whether psychiatric assessment or treatment would be appropriate students should either schedule an appointment with the MHC psychologist (974-2251)
