 Welcome to Campus Counseling Services

During college years, students face a variety of challenges that affect growth and development.  At times, conflicts and problems can arise and prevent students from realizing their full potential.  USM Campus Counseling Services works with students to discuss, explore, understand, and work through their concerns freely and confidentially, addressing personal, academic and career aspects for an individual.  Dr. Christina Dunn Carpenter (Dr. Tina) is the Campus Counselor; at times, referrals may be occasionally made to the community mental health center or psychologists in private practice, as well as a practicum student when available.  For the 2020-2021 academic year, we are blessed to have Savannah Fillion, USM Practicum Intern who is also available for our students.  Please check out her information in the USM Campus Counseling staff link!

Together, we work with individuals in the following Mental Wellness areas:

• Increase self-confidence;

In addition to personal and academic counseling, we provide career counseling support assisting students at all stages of the career planning process, supporting them on their journey to recognizing their God-given potential, and preparing them for value-centered careers.  We offer both in person and virtual sessions.  We look forward to working with you to achieve success and live a value-centered, healthy lifestyle!
