Our Mission

The Tennessee State University Counseling Center  (UCC) delivers quality and effective counseling and psychological services, crisis support and intervention, clinical training opportunities, and campus outreach and consultation. The UCC supports Tennessee State University’s goal of improving the health and wellness of all students who will serve as transformational and innovative change agents both within the campus and across broader communities. 

We strive to provide services that are inclusive and affirming to students of all genders, sexualities, and other diverse identities in a non-judgmental, safe space to share concerns confidentially. UCC practices are grounded in multicultural perspectives to address the various, diverse identities represented within our student population and empower students to gain awareness of their interconnected lived experiences for healthy, sustainable wellness that supports their academic, social, and emotional growth along with retention and graduation.

Counseling Services

As the university returns to regular operations, Counseling Services wants you to know that we are continuing to support the needs of students as well through telehealth provision currently. Telehealth counseling will be offered to students for whom this method of service delivery is suitable through a secure platform. Additionally, we will work with students who may have needs that require a higher level of support or for whom telehealth is less suitable to be connected to the appropriate resources. Please see the links below to access forms about telehealth counseling and security measures that will be required for. You may continue to email us at counseling@tnstate.edu or call our office at 615.963.5611 to schedule a session.
