The mission of the UCA Counseling Center is to meet the mental health needs of the vibrant, diverse UCA community.  We encourage, support, and assist those whom we serve to develop and strengthen their knowledge, skills, and abilities in order to effectively meet life’s demands and challenges.  We aim to be respectful toward everyone we serve, sensitive to diversity, true to our professional ethics, and ever mindful of the trust placed in us to genuinely care for others.
