The Psychology Clinic is a training and behavior health care center connected with the ISU Psychology Department. This treatment facility, which was established in 1978, provides training for doctoral students in the clinical psychology program as well as a low cost treatment option for both children and adults living in Southeastern Idaho.
Services are not restricted to the university and in fact most clients are community members. Clients work collaboratively with psychology trainees and the supervising clinical faculty to resolve emotional/ behavioral problems and reach personal goals.
All assistance and records are confidential, except as excluded by law.

Fees
Clinic Fees and Charges
There is no charge for an initial consultation.
Fees at the ISU Psychology Clinic are based on a sliding fee scale similar to that used by public sector agencies such as the Department of Health and Welfare.
Separate fees have been established for special services (e.g., ADA assessments, forensic work).
Upon request, we will assist clients who wish to file insurance claims.
Some faculty may see patients themselves through the Faculty Practice Plan (FPP); patients participating in the FPP are billed at the lower limit of prevailing community rates.
All clients sign an informed consent and fee agreement.
Training
Clinic Training Admission and Facilities
The Psychology Clinic is a training facility. Special conditions surrounding the training function of the clinic (e.g., role of students, research options, protocol limitations) are explained at the time of initial consultation if applicable.
The physical structure includes six standard treatment/consultation rooms, two testing areas, a child playroom, and several group/conference rooms, all equipped with standard observational facilities. Our new facility includes a computer lab and library for graduate student use, as well as video conferencing capabilities.
Computerized administration and scoring is available for frequently
used psychological tests (e.g., WAIS/WMS, MMPI-2, PAI).
Library searches using Psych INFO and medical databases can also be
conducted on site.
The clinic exposes psychology students to a variety of different training experiences, providing both individual and group supervision in practicum. Specialty workshops by external faculty (e.g., crisis management, Pediatric Health Psychology) are provided several times a year.
