Apply
The USA Psychological Clinic requires an application for all services. All applications go into an applicant pool, and applications are selected based on the needs of our training clinic.
An assistant director will contact you by phone at the number on your application, after reviewing your application, to learn more about your needs and goals and to be certain that our clinic is a good fit for you. At the time of your application, we suggest you also contact local resources if you are in immediate need.
Local Resources: AltaPointe (251) 450-2211, LifeLines (251) 692-0909
Important information about our clinic:
The USA Psychology is a training clinic for advanced graduate students in the USA Clinical and Counseling Doctoral Program. We cannot guarantee an appointment to any applicant. Applications are selected based on graduate clinician training needs and supervisors expertise.
We do not offer 24/7 crisis services at our clinic. If you feel unsafe, call 911 or go to your local emergency room. Another option is to call a suicide hotline, such as the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 988.
If you are a USA student and in crisis, University Counseling and Testing Services offers walk-in crisis services during weekday business hours (8 a.m. to 5:00 p.m, 300 Student Center Circle) or call 251-460-7051. During non-business hours, contact the University Police at (251) 460-6312 and they will notify the on-call counselor as appropriate.
