About Us

Mission Statement

The Counseling Center supports the Columbus State University mission of empowering students to contribute to the advancement of their communities by assisting students in overcoming the issues which may be blocking their growth and keeping them from reaching their individual potentials. This is accomplished via mental health, learning disorder assessment, and educational outreach. Secondarily, the Counseling Center provides consultation and referral information to the staff, faculty and parents of Columbus State University as they support their students' learning and growth.

Philosophy

The philosophy of the center is based on a positive approach to individual growth. Our primary emphasis is on the development of the person through self-knowledge (self-exploration and understanding) and positive change. We find that enhanced self-knowledge leads to increased personal satisfaction, improved interpersonal relationships and greater academic and vocational success. Our goal is to contribute to the optimal potential of each student and help the student achieve maximum benefit from the Columbus State University experience.
