About the Center

Welcome to the Counseling and Testing Center (CTC)

The goal of the CTC is to help you stay in college, thrive in life, and graduate whether you are a full-time or part-time undergraduate, graduate, or professional student.

The CTC is staffed with licensed psychologists and counselors with generalist mental health training and expertise in working with students. The CTC is a full-service counseling center that provides culturally responsive counseling (individual and group), psychological assessment, crisis intervention, outreach, and consultation services to the UA community.

The University of Akron affirms the importance and value of diversity within the student body, and among our faculty, staff, administration and governing Board of Trustees. The University values and respects the humanity of every individual from every background, and we embrace the diversity that defines UA and has so profoundly enriched our community. Learn more about the University of Akron’s involvement in serving our diverse communities by visiting the following on-campus offices: The University of Akron Office of Inclusion and Equity and the Office of Multicultural Development. Learn more about mental health resources for specific populations on the CTC Self-Help page.
