The staff of the Counseling Center views counseling as another form of learning where students are able to learn more effective means of resolving concerns and developing strategies for achieving personal and professional goals.  Counseling can assist those who are experiencing various personal problems and difficulties.  Some of the concerns commonly addressed include adjustment to college, relationships, stress, depression, loneliness, anxiety, and self-esteem.  If student needs are better served by other resources, referrals will be made to an appropriate community resource.

 

Counseling services in the Cumberland University Counseling Center  are  currently being provided by Elizabeth Smith, LCSW, a private practitioner in Mt. Juliet who is on contract with Cumberland University.  Please call 615-557-5607 for an appointment with Ms. Smith.  You will need to bring your Cumberland University student identification card to sessions with Ms. Smith to identify you as a student and be seen under this contract.  A search is underway to hire a new Director of the Counseling Center.
