Psychotherapy Services
Evidence-based therapy for individuals, couples and families
The Psychological Services Center (PSC) is committed to providing evidence-based treatment that is tailored to your needs. All services are supervised by licensed psychologists and faculty in UB’s Department of Psychology, ensuring high-quality care at an affordable cost.
Clients come to the PSC for many concerns, including:
- Anxiety, panic and worry
- Depression and mood difficulties
- Stress and life transitions
- Relationship or family conflict
- Parenting challenges
- Trauma-related distress
- Child behavior concerns
Assessment is an integral component of evidence-based care. As such, your first few sessions include a thorough psychological assessment focused on understanding:
- Your current concerns
- Your history and strengths
- Your goals for treatment
You and your clinician will work together to develop a plan based on the most effective, evidence-based approaches. Sessions are typically 50 minutes.

- You’ll discuss your concerns and what you hope to change
- If PSC is a good fit, you’ll be added to the wait list
- When a clinician is available, you will be contacted to set up your first appointment
- Intake forms will be sent for you to complete before your visit
There is no fee for the initial phone screen.
