The Psychological Services Center

To obtain services from the PSC, individuals are encouraged to call (936) 294-1210 to complete a telephone intake with a student clinic coordinator. The telephone intake is free and typically takes about 15 minutes. During this time, the clinic coordinators will ask about your reasons for seeking psychological services and make an appropriate treatment recommendation. Although parents may call to seek service for their children, individuals over the age of 17 must contact the PSC on their own.

The PSC strives to help all clients promptly, but sometimes faces a waiting list that may range from 1 to 8 weeks. If you are unable to wait the length of the waiting list, please ask the staff for an appropriate referral.

Agencies interested in obtaining services through the PSC should contact the Clinic Director for more information about available services. Attorneys and courts interested in these services are also encouraged to contact the Clinic Director.

All clinicians at the Psychological Services Center are doctoral students in psychology who are completing extensive training in providing psychological services. Licensed psychologists supervise all work completed at the PSC.

Fees at the clinic are determined from a sliding scale based on income and number of dependents. Fees are determined by the Clinic Director and assigned after a telephone intake with the clinic coordinators. The PSC does not accept insurance. Agencies negotiate their costs with the Clinic Director.

You are entitled to a Good Faith Estimate for the services you received.

LIST OF SERVICES OFFERED

The majority of clients who seek services at the PSC are community members from Huntsville or the surrounding areas. Thus far, clinical services have been provided to adults, children, and families from all ethnic, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds. Students enrolled at the University are encouraged to contact the University Counseling Center, a separate campus facility not affiliated with the PSC, as student fees typically cover this service.

Currently, the PSC provides services to several community organizations, including Montgomery County Youth Services, Montgomery County Department of Community Supervision and Corrections, Walker County Juvenile Services, Walker County Corrections and Community Supervision Department, Department of Assistive and Rehabilitative Services, and Children's Protective Services. These services have included both therapy and assessments tailored to the organization's needs. New agencies interested in obtaining services through the PSC are encouraged to contact the Clinic Director for more information.

The PSC provides forensic evaluations to attorneys and courts in 10 counties. Evaluations are conducted at both the PSC and a correctional facility.
