The PSCTC provides clinical training for graduate students and serves the community in providing low-cost counselling and assessment services.
We are a training clinic; our waitlist is different than most clinics. Individuals are assigned based on availability of students and supervisors as well as specific type of referral. Through the screening process, we attempt to only accept cases that have a good probability of being seen.
Our clinicians are graduate students in the Counselling Psychology program and School and Applied Child Psychology program. Their work is overseen by Registered Psychologists/Faculty.
We are unable to provide a time frame for being seen.
Our Clinic is not able to provide the following services OR support the following client concerns:
– Assessment for Autism and/or FASD
– Active claims or legal litigation
– Active Substance Abuse and Addictions issues
– Suicidal Ideation
– PTSD, complex trauma, including childhood or sexual abuse
– Active psychosis
– Active eating disorders
– Clients who are experiencing active domestic abuse, or are involved in family legal disputes (e.g. child custody proceedings)
– Complexity of mental health history (i.e. comorbidities in mental heath diagnoses, history of past hospitalizations, suicide attempts)
For child clients, we require consent from all parents or guardians with legal custody.
Please note that we are not a walk-in facility, and cannot offer crisis or emergency services. Clients are seen by appointment only.
