Piedmont College - Student Life Calendar

Counseling & Career Services

Kel Lee Cutrell, Licensed Professional Counselor
Director of Counseling & Career Services

College can be an exciting time for people being away from home for possibly the first time. And, having to make decisions for yourself that could affect the rest of your life can be scary for some. At Piedmont we offer counseling and career services to anyone who may need some guidance with those difficult decisions.

Personal counseling is not advice giving or having someone make decisions for you. It is someone to talk through concerns or problems with and to help YOU make the best decisions possible. A counselor does not judge you, but helps to guide you through issues concerning depression, anxiety, social skill problems, relationship problems, stress, eating problems, and anything else that you may be having problems with.

Career counseling helps you to make important decisions regarding your career path. Again, the counselor does NOT make those decisions for you, but gives you the skills and resources to make the best decision for yourself. The counselor works closely with the faculty to ensure that you receive the most accurate and up-to-date information.

In most cases there is not a “magical solution." If there were, you would have already found it. But, counseling can help you find effective coping skills to handle a problem or situation. It also gives you the chance to have someone listen to you and offer support in a non-judgmental way.

Each counseling session is confidential. That means the counselor will not gossip about you with faculty, staff or your peers. Confidentiality is broken in cases that could result in harm to yourself or someone else. Your safety is the college’s #1 priority.

You are welcome to visit the office in Lane Student Center. Office hours are from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. The phone number is (706) 778-8500 ext. 1259. In an emergency situation you can contact the campus police at (706) 778-0105 or ext 1105.
