The CMU Counseling Center provides mental health support for students with personal concerns that can negatively impact their academic success, interpersonal relationships, health, or well-being. We recognize that each student is a unique individual with different stories, experiences, and needs. We strive to create an open, safe, and inclusive environment where students can freely explore and express all identities, beliefs, and values they hold.

Taking care of your mental health is essential for your own personal and academic success. We offer a variety of services to meet each student where they are, and honor individual needs. Individual counseling services are short term and provided in person on the main campus, or via tele-mental health for students living in the State of Michigan. Community referrals are made for concerns requiring long term care. Urgent appointments are available for students with concerns requiring immediate attention. Support groups provide opportunities to connect with peers who share similar concerns. Drop-in activities offer stress relief and development of coping skills. To schedule an appointment, students can call or complete a request for services. All Counseling Center services are free to currently enrolled CMU students.
