Welcome
Services
The Counseling Center provides a variety of free brief and time-limited services for currently enrolled CMU students. Services include confidential individual counseling, group counseling, or referral for:
- Dealing with personal issues such as an urgent situation or crisis, anxiety, depression, loneliness, identity, alcohol/drug abuse, eating concerns, stress management, relationship concerns, couples concerns, family stress, loss, relapse prevention, sexual orientation, strengthening coping skills, and personal growth and development
- Exploring career options, particularly to assist undecided students and students who are questioning choices they already have made
- Improving academic success by reducing stress and focused anxiety (e.g., test, math, speech), and learning study and time management skills
- Primary and secondary survivors of sexual and domestic violence, stalking, and harassment
Clientele
The Counseling Center services are available to currently
enrolled CMU students who wish to facilitate their growth and
development, as well as to individuals with specific concerns.
We do not provide personal counseling through e-mail or other
electronic means. Individuals who are not CMU students and who are
seeking personal counseling are encouraged to consult a
local mental health
professional for assistance.

Students need to schedule an appointment to be seen. There are no walk-in sessions offered. A counseling session is scheduled for a 50 minute block. First time clients may be scheduled for a longer initial session.
