Collaboration with Schools and Universities

Rittenhouse Psychiatric Associates is not directly affiliated with student mental health centers at local colleges or universities. However, we are a trusted resource for high school, college, and university counseling centers that refer students to our practice for ongoing care. While many campus mental health centers offer short-term support, we provide comprehensive, long-term services to meet students’ needs beyond what on-campus programs can offer.

Transitioning to College: Mental Health Support

Starting college is an exciting but challenging time for many students. Our student mental health services help high school graduates prepare for the academic and emotional demands of college life, fostering resilience and independence. We also support students adjusting to campus environments, including those navigating gender identity, sexual orientation, or cultural challenges.
