BeHealthier Clinic
The BeHealthieR Clinic is currently offering individual, group, and couples therapy to students, staff, and faculty of the The University of North Carolina at Charlotte. This year we are excited to offer Relationship Checkups! Our assessment clinic has also opened and is in operation on Fridays during the Fall of 2024. We have limited hours with a receptionist on site to receive phone calls, answer questions, or schedule appointments and we do not provide walk-in or emergency services. However, we typically respond to emails throughout the work week. Emailing the clinic is the preferred, fastest, and most reliable way to contact us and get service. Please reach out via email at behealthierclinic@charlotte.edu.
The Behavioral Health and Resiliency Psychology Clinic, also called the “BeHealthier Clinic,” is a low-cost mental health outpatient clinic. The clinic’s purpose is to: 1) provide quality psychological services at a reasonable cost with greater access, and 2) serve as a training facility for doctoral clinical students in the Health Psychology Ph.D. program at UNC Charlotte. We currently offer services ONLY to members of the UNC Charlotte community. In the future, we plan to expand our services to the broader Charlotte area.
The BeHealthieR Clinic is staffed by graduate students and faculty from the Clinical Health Psychology Ph.D. program at UNC Charlotte. Dr. Jennifer Langhinrichsen-Rohling is currently serving as the Clinic Director. Graduate student clinicians are supervised by licensed clinical faculty members, many of whom serve on the clinic’s leadership team: Dr. Laura Armstrong, Dr. Jennifer Langhinrichsen-Rohling, Dr. Amy Peterman, Dr. George Demakis, Dr. Jennifer Webb, Dr. Scott Ravyts, and Dr. Aimee Smith.

The Behavioral Health and Resiliency Clinic was founded with a mission to increase access to mental health services and promote wellness among diverse populations in a safe and affirming environment. We strive to be culturally humble, responsive to the unique needs of each individual we serve, intentionally inclusive of all intersecting identities, and to actively combat systemic oppression, prejudice, marginalization, discrimination, and other forms of intolerance in all the work we do.
Our Clinic Reception and Waiting Room is located in Colvard Hall, SOUTH, 4th Floor, Room 4077.
