Hosford Counseling
and Psychological Services Clinic
Services for Adults, Adolescents, & Children
The clinic offers individual adult, adolescent, and child treatment as well as family and couples treatment. The clinic staff aims to provide clients with treatment that is culturally- responsive, validated by recent research, and matched to the individual needs of the client. In addition, our staff psychiatrist is available to our clients for medication consultation and management. Clinicians also consult and collaborate with other medical, psychological, and educational professionals when necessary.
Typical client concerns include: anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship issues, family problems, school adjustment, parenting difficulties, divorce and separation adjustment, career and personal decisions, and life transitions.
Client needs are first assessed as part of a phone screening in order to determine whether it is likely that we are able to provide services that meet your needs. If you need services that we are unable to offer, we will provide you with referrals. If it seems likely that we can be helpful, we will schedule an intake. The purpose of the intake is to get to know your better and to learn more about your concerns so that we can match your needs with the clinicians and supervisors who are available.
Clients currently in treatment can explore psychological assessment options with their clinicians in order to determine whether assessment/testing is appropriate and, if so, what type of instruments should be administered. Psychological assessment is often helpful in the early stages of treatment to evaluate your needs and to aid in setting treatment goals.
Special Considerations When SeekingServices at a Psychology Training Clinic
It is important to note that the Hosford Clinic is a training clinic with limited resources. Our goal is to provide you with the best care possible. Therefore, we reserve the right to refuse treatment and to advise you to seek services from other local mental health service providers. Given our limitations, even persons who have participated in an intake interview are not considered a client of the Hosford Clinic until the intake process is complete, the intake information has been reviewed by the case assignment team, an offer to provide care has been made by the clinic and you have agreed to receive the type of care that is being offered.
