Clinical services
General clinic
The General Clinic offers scientifically-based treatments for many common troubles such as depression and emotional distress, anxiety, difficulties in adjustment, school-related problems, behavior problems, stress, relationship problems, anger, substance abuse, and coping with health concerns. The treatment approach may be cognitive-behavioral, family-focused, or psychodynamic, but generally consists of weekly 60-minute appointments over the course of several weeks or months. Psychological evaluations for common concerns (e.g., ADHD, learning disabilities) are also available. These evaluations typically involve record review, interviews, testing, and rating scales. Evaluation methods and specific assessments used are tailored to each client's needs.
Clients can expect a collaborative, warm, and empathic environment as they work with their therapist to improve their quality of life.
