PSC Mission
The Psychological Services Center (PSC), is operated by the Department of Psychology at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Our Center directly contributes to the University mission of transforming lives and serving society by:
- EDUCATING future leaders in the field of Psychology through our training and supervision of doctoral students in the Clinical/Community program
- CREATING KNOWLEDGE through cutting edge research on culturally competent, evidence-based, mental health and community interventions and outcomes
- PUTTING KNOWLEDGE TO WORK by providing culturally relevant, evidence-based, therapy, evaluations, workshops, and consultation services to local residents and campus members
This combination of teaching, scholarship, service, and public engagement directly support the University’s vision of excellence, innovation and leadership.
Commitment to Diversity
The PSC strives to serve diverse clients from different walks of life using culturally relevant, strength-based, and evidence-based approaches. It is important to us that everyone who seeks services at our Center is treated in a respectful and welcoming way. We also strive to be sensitive to the effects of diversity-related issues such as oppression and discrimination based on race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, identity, religion, age, immigration status, military status, legal record, or other forms of intolerance.
Our Clinicians
Most of our therapy and group services are offered by pre-licensed, masters-level clinical trainees under the supervision of doctoral level faculty from the UIUC Clinical-Community Psychology program. Some services where indicated may be offered by doctoral level psychologists.
Our clinicians and supervisors are diverse in many ways and strive to be culturally sensitive to race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, gender orientation, disability, religion, military standing and other human differences.
Our Clients
Our Center serves the Champaign-Urbana-Savoy community and surrounding area. Our clients come from all walks of life and include adults and adolescents from the community, as well as UIUC students, faculty and staff.
Our Fees
Fees for services provided by pre-licensed clinicians are very affordable. We use a generous sliding scale that depends on family size and income. No one is turned away for inability to pay.
We can only accept major insurance carriers (Aetna, Health Alliance, BC/BS, Student Insurance) for assessment/diagnostic services provided by our licensed clinical psychologists.
See the individual services listed on this web site for more information about fees for any particular service.
