Amherst College Partnership

We have partnered with Amherst College to provide consultations and evaluations for students.

In order to be part of the contract, Students must be currently enrolled at Amherst College, and referrals must be made through the Center for Counseling and Mental Health (CCMH). If you have a counselor at CCMH, please ask them whether a referral would be appropriate. If you are not working with anyone at CCMH, the Clinical Case Management team can help you get connected. Please feel free to contact CCMH at 413-542-2354 with any questions.

See below for the steps of these evaluations:

Referral

Amherst College contacts Learning Solutions with your referral (after you meet with a clinician there)

Paperwork
