Center for Counseling and Personal Evaluation

Counseling provides an opportunity to receive support and experience growth, often during challenging times, within the context of a confidential relationship. You will work together with a clinician to discuss and define personal issues and reach mutually agreed-upon treatment goals. We provide counseling services for:

• Individuals across the lifespan
• Partners/couples
• Families

The CCPE offers comprehensive psychological and psychoeducational assessments for clients of all ages.

Some of our most common assessment questions involve, but are not limited to:

• ADHD
• Learning disorders (reading, writing, mathematics)
• Intellectual functioning concerns
• Depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD
• Personality and/or social functioning

Neuropsychological and psychosocial assessments are conducted in the NAC to evaluate cognitive functioning, to learn more about current behavior, abilities, and challenges, and to help patients and their families cope with the changes associated with aging. The NAC provides:

• Neuropsychological assessments to help diagnose potential issues related to aging, such as Major or Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), Alzheimer’s Disease, and Other Dementia-related Disorders
• Information on the latest research and treatments
• Supportive services, such as counseling and support groups

Throughout each year, the CCPE conducts various outreach events that aim to provide educational opportunities for students to learn about mental health topics, such as self-care and navigating college. The events also help students understand the resources provided through the CCPE.

Collaboration with other units on campus is essential to the outreach efforts of the CCPE. We have collaborated with multiple departments including Student Care and Outreach and Multicultural Services and Programs. In the past year, the CCPE has participated in the following programs:

• The UGA Be Well Fest
