What should I expect from therapy?
Initially, your therapy sessions will involve talking about your concerns and letting
your clinician get to know you better. This will help you to define realistic goals,
explore options and make responsible decisions regarding treatment. A trusting relationship
is essential to useful therapy. If you feel uncomfortable or have concerns about the
work you are doing, please discuss these issues. This will make your therapy experience
more productive and worthwhile.
What are typical concerns for which clients seek therapy?
We help our clients with many different problems, ranging from life satisfaction issues
to more serious difficulties. We commonly work with clients around issues such as
depression and anxiety, grief and loss, adjustment difficulties, family and relationship
problems, social and communication skills, parenting skills, and strategies for academic
success and many more topics of concern.
Who can take advantage of the Clinic's services?
Comprehensive psychological services are available to the community on a confidential
basis.
Can I use my insurance plan at the Clinic?
The Psychology Clinic will furnish a statement of services for the client to file
with their insurance company. The clinic does not accept direct or consignment payment
from insurance companies.
How much will a consultation cost?
There is no charge for the first visit. Student clinicians work with each individual
client to set a workable fee during the first session.
How soon can I see a clinician?
Prospective clients call the clinic to request services and are assigned to a graduate student clinician who is in training at the clinic. An initial interview is typically scheduled within one week of contact from the assigned clinician. This interview allows clinicians to better assess each client's special needs. Supervisors will review each case to determine if the clinic is the appropriate agency to effectively help the prospective client. Appointments are scheduled at that time or a referral to another agency is made. Appointments are scheduled directly by student clinicians.
Where do I park on campus?
The clinic office will provide clients* with a parking permit. All campus parking
spaces require a permit. Clinic parking permits are not valid in reserved spaces or
handicapped spaces.
*Faculty, Staff and Students of the University of North Texas are not provided with clinic parking permits.
