Clinics

The Psychology Department is the home of two clinics, The University Of Maryland Psychology Clinic and The Maryland Psychotherapy Clinic and Research Lab.

The University of Maryland Psychology Clinic is the primary training site for doctoral-level clinical psychology graduate students in the competent and ethical practice of Clinical Psychology. The Psychology Clinic offers year-round, sliding-fee scale services for children, adolescents, and adults in the suburban Maryland and greater Washington DC metro area. We provide evidenced-based psychological assessment and treatment for a wide variety of concerns and issues. Psychological assessment includes cognitive evaluations for learning disabilities and intelligence testing as well as diagnostic assessments for Attention Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Treatment services include individual, group, and family psychotherapy to address a range of difficulties including depression, anxiety, academic problems, family discord, anger management, relationship/marital problems, dealing with grief and loss, problems with stress and coping, and child behavioral and emotional problems. The Psychology Clinic is staffed by Clinical Psychology Faculty and graduate students from the Doctoral Program in Clinical Psychology..

The Maryland Psychotherapy Clinic and Research Lab (MPCRL) offers low-fee individual counseling and psychotherapy for adults from the community. Clients typically have difficulties in areas such as depression, anxiety, relationship problems, grief and loss, and meaning of life. Services are provided by advanced doctoral student therapists who are supervised by very experienced licensed psychologists. There is no limit on the number of sessions; the theoretical orientation is psychodynamic/relational. Research participation requires completing psychological surveys at the beginning and end of treatment and every session; all sessions are videotaped.
