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?
Our clinic offers comprehensive and confidential psychological services to both UNT students and the general public.
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. We can however accept HSA/FSA or Flex payments in our office (the online payment portal will not accept Flex payments).
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 for one of our Clinic Reserved spaces. 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.
