Counseling Center

The primary mission of the Counseling Center is to assist students in accomplishing personal and academic goals by offering opportunities to support and enhance personal growth and development of the whole person especially in emotional, social, physical, and intellectual realms.

What the Counseling Center Offers

A new partnership has been established with Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare, a widely recognized provider, to offer quality and care to our students. All students enrolled at CBU will have access to a licensed mental health licensed provider, offering assistance to the student campus community.  Confidential, professional services include personal counseling, crisis counseling/ intervention, personal development seminars, consultation, and referrals. 

The University Counseling Center provides face-to-face and some limited virtual session options. The staff will also offer additional programming during the semester for students.
