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.
