The Psychological Services Center (PSC) is an outpatient mental health clinic located in the McGowan Center on the Marywood University campus. Consistent with the university’s mission statement, the PSC strives to reach two goals: (1) to expand upon the range of competent, low cost mental health services that are available to the university and the local communities, and (2) to facilitate the training of students who are in the university’s psychology, counseling and human development programs.

Graduate students enrolled in Psychology, Counseling and Human Development practicum courses have the opportunity, pending instructor approval, to provide clinical and educational services to PSC clients. All clinical activity that is conducted by graduate students is closely supervised by licensed faculty members through the use of video tape, audio tape and live observation in both individual and group supervision formats.

The PSC is a state-of-the-art training facility. The physical plant consists of seven individual/family therapy rooms, two large group therapy rooms, three regular observation rooms and a large multi-media observation room.
