OUR SERVICES

URPSC provides outpatient therapy for children, teens, and adults (ages 5–25) and their families.

How Therapy Works Here

After contacting our team by phone or email, you'll start with a free phone consultation, then two intake sessions.

After intake, you are matched with a PhD graduate student clinician. Each clinician is supervised by a licensed psychologist who reviews the case and guides treatment.

Sessions are usually 50 minutes, once per week. Therapy is collaborative, with you and your clinician choosing goals and adjusting them along the way.

Most treatment lasts 8 to 12 sessions, although some clients may need more or fewer.

We help with many concerns, including:

  • Anxiety, stress, and worry
  • Depression and low mood
  • Strong feelings or behavior difficulties

Our Approach to Therapy

We use treatments that are:

  • Evidence-based
  • Goal-focused and structured
  • Personalized to each client
  • Culturally informed

Many of our approaches come from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), behavioral strategies, interpersonal work, and family-focused therapy.

In-Person and Telehealth

  • In-person sessions take place on the Univeristy of Rocheter campus in Meliora Hall.
  • Telehealth sessions (secure Zoom) may be available for clients who live in New York State, if clinically appropriate.
  • Intake sessions are done in person.

  • Crisis or emergency care
  • Walk-in sessions
  • After-hours services
