Penn State Psychological Clinic

Welcome to the Pennsylvania State University Psychological Clinic homepage. Our clinic functions with three primary goals in mind:
1) Provision of evidence based psychological services to residents of Centre County and the surrounding area;
2) Training of graduate students in our doctoral (Ph.D.) training program in Clinical Psychology (adult and child tracks);
3) Provision of evidence based psychological services to residents of Centre County and the surrounding area
Conducting “state of the art” research in order to develop new and more effective ways of helping our clients cope with the difficulties they face

In order to accomplish these missions, we are committed to providing services to all individuals regardless of race, gender, religion, ethnic background, economic status, or sexual orientation. Because we operate as the training facility for one of the leading Clinical Psychology programs in the nation, our professional staff includes faculty in Clinical Psychology, adjunct faculty, staff psychologists and psychiatrists, and licensed mental health professionals. Many hold clinical appointments in the Department of Psychology. Many serve as clinical supervisors to the staff clinicians who are primarily composed of graduate students enrolled in the Clinical Psychology doctoral training program.

The Clinic is licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services as an Outpatient Psychiatric Clinic and accepts referrals from individuals and various community agencies. We operate, in part, as a contracted provider for Centre County’s Mental Health/Intellectual Disability/Drug and Alcohol Program/Early Intervention Services and receive referrals from the Base Service Unit (BSU) in Bellefonte. Thus, some of our services are funded in part under an agreement with Centre County. We also accept most major insurance providers.
