Do you want ongoing Counseling and meet the following critiera?

 

  • Want counseling services over the summer

     

  • Will be in the state of Tennessee during the summer


Schedule a Needs Assessment (30 min) to get connected to services!



 

 Please click here: Needs Assessment to fill out the required paperwork and receive further instructions for scheduling. You will select “Needs Assessment” on the main menu.  


Please do not schedule a Needs Assessment at this time if you do not wish to continue services with us over the summer.

      • Date/Time/Location: Fridays from 2-3PM in Culp Center Meeting Room #303 

     

  • Single Session Therapy

    A one-time, structured counseling appointment with one of our providers is also an option; however, in order to ensure that this type of appointment would be appropriate for students’ needs, we require that students first complete Needs Assessment paperwork (Click Link Here ).

    • When prompted at the end of the paperwork to schedule an appointment, simply select “I prefer not to schedule an appointment at this time” and contact our office by phone at (423) 439-3333 to schedule an SST. 

     

If deciding between single session therapy (SST) appointments and a Let’s Talk appointment, you may consider overall/ongoing mental health needs, as completing Needs Assessment paperwork will make it easier to utilize our services in the future; however, Let’s Talk appointments are more easily accessible (e.g., more time slots, no paperwork) and offer flexibility in number of meetings you may have.  

If none of these options seem right for you, please contact our office at (423) 439-3333 to speak with someone about services that may be available.
