About the PSC
The Psychological Services Center (PSC) is a dedicated community mental health clinic
that has been serving the greater Memphis area for over 40 years. Our team, made up
of skilled graduate student clinicians and expert supervisors, offers a wide range
of therapy and psychological evaluation services to children, adolescents, adults,
and families. We are committed to providing you with compassionate, professional,
and quality services.
At the PSC, we believe in providing an inclusive and welcoming environment for all
individuals seeking mental health services. Our therapists, supervisors, and staff
are committed to recognizing and valuing diversity in race, ethnicity, gender identity
and sexuality, physical and mental abilities, religious beliefs, and socio-economic
status. We strive to create an open, safe, and respectful atmosphere where different
attitudes, beliefs, values, and behaviors can be openly discussed.
Learn About our Mission
The Psychological Services Center aims to develop meaningful and culturally responsive solutions in collaboration with clients and community partners. Toward this goal, we have a three-part mission.
Accessibility
We are dedicated to providing accessible, evidence-based mental health care to the University of Memphis and greater Memphis communities. The limited number of providers in our area and the high cost of mental health services, mental health services can be difficult to access. We are committed to serving as a community mental health clinic and one our priorities is to reduce common barriers that folks experience when attempting to access their care. The PSC offers very low rates on common services as well as a sliding scale system.
Training
We are dedicated to training the next generation of psychologists to provide compassionate, accessible, and evidence-based care for our community. We recognize the barriers that many individuals face when seeking mental health services and are committed to breaking down these barriers through our training programs. Our mission is to empower our trainees to become leaders in the field of mental health and to make a positive impact in the lives of those we serve.
Research
We are committed to advancing the field of mental health through cutting-edge research. We understand the importance of involving our clients in the research process and are committed to ensuring their voices are heard. Our goal is to use the insights gained through research to improve the services we and other psychologists provide in order to increase the effectiveness of mental health care for everyone. We strive to conduct research in an ethical, inclusive, and respectful manner. All research conducted in the Psychological Services Center is approved by our research ethics board and all participation is completely voluntary. If you do not wish to participate in research, that will not impact the services you are receiving at our clinic.
